A member asked:
Oral surgeon; periodontist, etc. #: is iraise, a minimally invasive sinus lift procedure, available to patients in the united states, at this time?

Absolutely: A sinus lift operation performed with CAT scan control and knowing the anatomy of the maxillary sinus can be performed not only by oral surgeons, periodontists, but also by may general dentists who have taken multiple courses for this operation. I am surprise at the question because there are thousands of well trained dentists who perform a sinus lift for implant surgery.
