On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes joins Dr. Michelle Caldwell for a DSN webinar on predictable sinus lifts for general dentists. Drawing on her implant dentistry and teaching experience, Dr. Caldwell explains how anatomy, available bone, and implant positioning influence the choice between crestal and lateral approaches. She shares her conservative philosophy on staging treatment, allowing adequate healing, and managing complications such as membrane perforations.
The discussion also covers patient selection, imaging, postoperative instructions, and building relationships with specialists for referral support. Throughout the webinar, Dr. Caldwell emphasizes hands-on mentorship, clear patient expectations, and knowing when to pause or refer a case.
