Sinus lift

We specialize in sinus lift surgery, a crucial procedure for patients requiring upper jaw bone height enhancement to support dental implants. We are committed to providing the highest standard of care to ensure successful implant placement and long-lasting dental health.

What is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that increases the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla, or upper jaw area, beneath the sinus cavities. This procedure is often necessary when the sinus is too close to the jaw for dental implants to be placed safely.

Reasons for a Sinus Lift:

• Insufficient Bone Height in the Upper Jaw: Common after tooth loss, especially if the teeth have been missing for a long time.
• Sinus Enlargement: Can occur naturally or after tooth loss, reducing the available bone for implants.

Our Sinus Lift Procedure:

1. Pre-Surgical Assessment: Comprehensive imaging and evaluation to determine the exact anatomy of your sinus and jaw.
2. Surgical Technique: Utilizes either a lateral window approach or a less invasive crestal approach, depending on your specific needs.
3. Bone Grafting Material: We use either autogenous bone (from your own body), allogenic bone (donor bone), or synthetic materials, tailored to promote optimal bone regeneration.
4. Healing and Recovery: Typically, it takes several months for the new bone to integrate fully, after which the dental implants can be placed.

Benefits of Sinus Lift Surgery:

• Enables Dental Implants: Provides the necessary bone structure for the placement of dental implants in the upper jaw.
• Long-Term Solution: Offers a durable solution for tooth loss, with the potential to last a lifetime with proper care.
• Improves Oral Health: Prevents further bone loss and degradation of the jaw structure.
