What is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift, also known as a sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure performed to add bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. This surgery is necessary when the sinuses are too close to the jawbone or when there is insufficient bone density to support dental implants. A sinus lift allows for the successful placement of implants, giving you the foundation for a restored smile.

Why is a Sinus Lift Needed?

Sinus lifts are often required for individuals who:

Have experienced bone loss in the upper jaw due to age, injury, or periodontal disease.
Are unable to receive dental implants because of insufficient bone volume in the back of the upper jaw.
Need additional bone to support implants and restore oral functionality.

The Sinus Lift Procedure

Initial Consultation: our doctors will evaluate your oral health, review medical history, and use imaging technology to assess the condition of your jawbone and sinuses.
Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your needs, a personalized surgical plan will be created to ensure the best outcome.
Surgical Procedure: The procedure involves gently lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material to the area, allowing for the growth of new bone. The surgery is typically done under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available.
Post-Operative Care and Follow-Up: After surgery, we’ll provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. A follow-up visit will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and evaluate the healing of the bone graft.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a sinus lift surgery involve?

Sinus lift surgery involves raising the sinus membrane and inserting bone graft material into the space to increase bone height in the upper jaw, making it possible to place dental implants.

A sinus lift is often performed to allow for dental implants to be placed in the upper jaw. After sufficient healing of the bone graft, dental implants can be placed to restore functionality and aesthetics.

How long does it take to recover from a sinus lift?

Recovery typically takes a few weeks to months, depending on your individual healing process. Our doctors will provide specific instructions to help promote healing and ensure the success of the procedure.
