A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common Procedure: There are different approaches to sinus augmentation, with some less invasive than others. Your trusted periodontist can discuss the technique planned for your surgery and provide you with more information regarding your concerns. An internal sinus augmentation can certainly be performed comfortably and safely under local anesthesia.
