Patient presented himself with retained roots and a vertical fractured tooth on the upper left quadrant which required extraction for both teeth. He had some existing missing spaces on the right hand side.
Once the teeth were removed a CBCT scan was taken to check for bone height, width and density. Unfortunately the patient didn’t have enough bone and require an open lateral window sinus lift surgery.
The sinus lift were carried out on both sides and left to settle down for 6 months before placing dental implants.
Once the implants were placed, patient had to wait a further 3 months to ensure the implants had imbedded in the bone before proceeding with the restorations.
A longer journey but the results were well worth the wait.
