Want to augment sinuses like a periodontist?

Feb. 3, 2021
What sets NovaBone apart from other putties? And why did Dr. Philip Walton almost avoid it? Now he's very glad he tried it, and he uses it regularly in his practice.

For Dr. Philip Walton, an educator and practicing periodontist in the Toronto area, his practice is all about patient-centered care. Having the right materials can make all the difference toward that goal, materials that not only work in his hands, but are also proven in the literature.

NovaBone, which Dr. Walton almost didn’t try because it’s a synthetic, is that right material. Not only does it make sinus augmentation easier for him, it also encourages patients to accept a treatment they might normally shy away from.

“It allows me to tackle cases in a more minimally invasive way,” Dr. Walton says.
