Since the mouth shrinks when there are no side and back teeth, does the sinus lift also widen the gums so the implants being place look aligned? Will the smile smile look natural and wide or does the mouth still look small and O shaped with teeth?
@@remmered This answer came right from Dr. Nielsen (the surgeon who performed Francis’s surgery) When the sinuses shrink, most of the shrinking takes place inside the sinus while the outer bone remains in the same spot. So doing the sinus lift fills in the hollow part of the bone, but the harder outer shell remains in the same. So, we are able to get a good outcome of a wider smile that looks natural rather than a narrow unnatural looking smile.
