My mom has had a denture for 30 years. She has heard about dental implants but was told she needs a bone graft into both side of her sinus. An then she has to wait six months before implants are placed. Is there an alternative treatment?

A:Yes. A custom implant can be made that attaches over the bone and a bridge can be placed the day of the surgery.
