Prepare Your Smile for Dental Implants
Implants are a life-changing procedure. They give you back your strong bite and restore your chewing power. If you want implants in your upper jaw but have lost bone mass, you may need a sinus lift. It makes room for implants by raising the sinus ridge and adding bone material to the upper jaw.
As a periodontists, Drs. Bruce and Garrett Crawford have vast experience with dental implants, including surgical procedures to prepare for them. If they determine you require the procedure, they’ll discuss exactly what you should expect. They’ll take time to answer your questions. They’ll use digital X-rays and 3-D scans of your mouth for planning purposes.
Once the sinus lift has been completed, your mouth requires time to heal. It also gives the new bone in your jaw a chance to integrate with any existing bone. When it’s time, you’ll come back to our office for your implants. Your options include:
- All-on-4 Dental Implants – We’ll anchor your new teeth to four to six implants in your upper jaw. Based on the strength of your jaw, Dr. Crawford will determine the optimal number of implants. The treatment is typically faster and easier than other full-mouth implant placements.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – When dentures are attached to implants, you won’t need messy adhesive. You’ll have almost natural bite strength. You also won’t have to worry about your dentures getting loose over time.

An Experience Patients Trust
Dr. Crawford provided exceptional and compassionate service by helping me fix my left front tooth, which is an implant that fell out. Dr. Crawford came to the office during a holiday weekend to bring healing. They were warm, kind, and I felt as if I were a family member. I definitely recommend Dr. Crawford's office to anyone looking for a highly skilled and empathetic specialty dentist.
