After Sinus Lift Sunnyvale

Occasionally, when an upper tooth is extracted, there can be an opening between the sinus and the mouth. This is because the sinus and the tooth roots are so close together that when the tooth is extracted, an opening remains in the sinus. This is what happened in your case. Following these instructions will enhance the healing of the extraction site. Occasionally, a second surgical procedure is necessary if the healing is not complete. Therefore, it is most important to read and follow these instructions.
