FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Oct. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- For 4 days, Fort Lauderdale Cosmetic Dentist Dr. April Patterson (Dr. Patty) performed dozens of free dental procedures at the Universidad Federico Henruquez Y Carvajal in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on a Dental Mission Trip sponsored by the American Dental Implant Association (ADIA).

The mission trip was from August 28 to September 1 and consisted of roughly 100 dentists, most from the United States, some from elsewhere in the world including as far away as Australia.

Most of the patients have little to no access to dental care in "The DR." Many arrived in the early hours of the morning at the clinic and waited many hours to receive procedures. Dr. Patty performed a number of Dental Implant procedures and Sinus Lifts, also called a sinus augmentation, a surgery that adds bone to the upper jaw. This bone tissue is added between the maxillary sinuses and the jaw. To do this, the sinus membrane needs to be moved upward and therefore lifted.

The procedure is done in cases where there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw for dental implants to be placed. This can happen when people have lost their back teeth that can cause bone loss over time or if bone was lost due to periodontal disease. The procedure is also needed when the maxillary sinus may be too close to the upper jaw for implants to be placed.

"As a Fort Lauderdale Dentist, to be able to use my surgical and dental implant skills to help people in desperate need of dental care to achieve a complete and beautiful smile was so gratifying. I look forward to when I can return to help more people in need," said Dr. Patty.

While the conditions during the mission trip are a far cry from her South Florida dental boutique where clients are pampered with state-of-the-art, high-end dental care coupled with the treatments and relaxing atmosphere of a spa, the gratitude from those receiving care during the trip was priceless.
