Interesting to hear this, actually. When I had my upper implants done, I did notice some weird sinus pressure for about two weeks. Did your dentist recommend any specific imaging beforehand to avoid this? Curious if mine missed something...
When I had my upper implants done, my dentist actually insisted on a CBCT scan beforehand. He explained that regular X-rays sometimes miss how close your sinus cavities are to the implant site, and the 3D imaging helps avoid complications like sinus pressure or infections. Even with that, I still felt a bit of weird pressure for a few days, but nothing too intense. Maybe your dentist relied on standard imaging and didn't catch something subtle...?
Did your dentist mention if the CBCT scan is always necessary, or just for certain cases? I'm scheduled for implants soon and now I'm wondering if I should push for the 3D imaging too... feeling a bit uneasy about it all.
