"Experience the difference with our innovative sinus lift technique."

A sinus lift procedure is a surgical procedure that is performed to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw, specifically the area near the maxillary sinuses. The procedure is usually recommended for patients who require dental implants in this region but do not have enough bone to support the implants.

During a sinus lift, the surgeon creates an opening in the upper jawbone to access the maxillary sinuses. The sinus membrane is then gently lifted, and bone graft material is inserted into the space between the sinus and the jawbone. The bone graft material can be taken from the patient’s own body, such as the hip or tibia, or can be a synthetic material.

Once the bone graft material is in place, the surgeon will close the incision and allow the bone to heal and fuse with the jawbone. This process usually takes several months, and the patient may need to wear a temporary denture or bridge while the bone heals.

After the bone has healed, the patient can then proceed with dental implant surgery. The dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone and functions as the root of the tooth. The implant is allowed to fuse with the jawbone, which usually takes a few months, and then a dental crown or bridge is attached to the implant to replace the missing tooth.

Patients who undergo a sinus lift procedure can expect to experience some discomfort and swelling in the days following the surgery. Pain medications and antibiotics may be prescribed to manage these symptoms, and patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activity and eat soft foods during the healing process.

In conclusion, a sinus lift procedure is a safe and effective way to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw and prepare the area for dental implant surgery. With the right preparation and surgical technique, patients can achieve a healthier, more functional smile and enjoy the benefits of dental implants for many years to come.

FAQ's

A sinus lift procedure is a type of oral surgery that involves adding bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars to make room for dental implants. The procedure involves lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material to the area.

The upper jaw bone in the area of the molars and premolars is sometimes thinner and less dense than other areas of the jaw, which can make it difficult to place dental implants securely. A sinus lift procedure can help to add bone to the area, which provides more support for the implants.

There are two main types of sinus lift procedures: the traditional method and the lateral window approach. The traditional method involves making an incision in the gum tissue and lifting the sinus membrane from the jawbone to add bone graft material. The lateral window approach involves creating a small window in the side of the jawbone to access the sinus cavity.

Sinus lift procedures are typically performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during the procedure. You may experience some discomfort and swelling after the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

The recovery time for a sinus lift procedure can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure. You may experience some swelling and discomfort for several days after the procedure, and it may take several months for the bone graft to fully integrate with the existing bone. Your dentist or oral surgeon can provide you with more information about what to expect during your recovery.

A sinus lift procedure may be recommended for individuals who do not have enough bone in the upper jaw to support dental implants. This may be due to bone loss from periodontal disease, tooth loss, or natural anatomy. A sinus lift can also be necessary for individuals who have a very thin sinus membrane, which can be damaged during implant placement.

A sinus lift procedure typically takes 1-2 hours to complete, although the exact duration may vary depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure.

There are several types of bone graft materials that can be used in a sinus lift procedure, including autogenous bone (taken from your own body), allograft (taken from a donor), and synthetic materials.

It can take several months for the bone graft to fully heal and integrate with the surrounding bone. The exact duration of the healing process may vary depending on the individual and the extent of the bone graft.

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with a sinus lift, including bleeding, infection, and damage to the sinus membrane or surrounding structures. Your dentist or oral surgeon will discuss these risks with you and help you decide if a sinus lift is the right choice for your dental implant needs.
