How To Resolve A Sinus Problem Caused By An Implant
However, a sinus infection can be resolved with the right treatment and care. Additionally, patients with sinus issues should be honest with their dentists before an implant to allow the oral surgeon to do a test on the teeth to detect any sinus problems that can become worse due to an implant
Some of the common signs that you might have a sinus problem after an implant include increased pressure or a stuffy nose, pain, increased pressure on your face, mild fever and nasal discharge. The dentist might need to remove the implant and repair the infected part before placing another implant. You will also be given a course of antibiotics to get rid of the infection.
Picking an experienced and skilled dental surgeon is an essential thing to consider if you want to prevent a sinus problem during an implant. Such a dentist will check your teeth position, will identify the position of your nerves and will also check if you have enough bone under the sinus. The dentist will also check if the volume and density of your jawbone before the implant. All this will be determined with the help of CT scans or X-rays. It is another reason why you need a dentist who has a 3D scanner or a panoramic X-ray machine that can give a picture of all the nerves within your sinus cavity and protect the nerves from damage.
