Sinus
Lifting
A sinus lift adds bone to the upper jaw, supporting dental implants for stable, lasting restoration.
What Is Sinus Lifting?
A sinus lift, also known as a sinus augmentation, is a dental procedure aimed at adding bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars.
This process involves lifting the sinus membrane to create space for bone grafting, effectively increasing bone height and density. The procedure is often necessary when there is insufficient bone height to support dental implants due to natural bone resorption or tooth loss.
A sinus lift helps create a solid foundation for implant placement, enhancing the chances of long-term implant success. It is typically performed by experienced oral surgeons or periodontists.
After the sinus lift, a healing period of several months is usually required to allow the bone graft to integrate with the existing bone. Maintaining proper oral hygiene and adhering to post-operative instructions are vital for successful outcomes.
If you are considering dental implants and have limited bone in the upper jaw, a sinus lift may be a viable solution to restore your smile with stable and durable implant-supported restorations.
Closed (simple sinus lifting)
Closed or simple sinus lifting is a dental procedure designed to augment the bone in the upper jaw for dental implant placement. This minimally invasive technique involves accessing the sinus cavity through the natural opening and gently elevating the sinus membrane.
Once lifted, bone graft material is inserted to enhance bone density and height. Closed sinus lifting avoids the need for external incisions, making it less traumatic and reducing recovery time. It is a suitable option for patients with moderate bone loss in the posterior upper jaw who desire dental implants.
Seeking a skilled dental professional for this procedure ensures successful implant placement and improved oral function.
Open (Complicated sinus lifting)
Open or complicated sinus lifting is a more extensive dental procedure used to augment the bone in the upper jaw for dental implant support. This technique involves creating a small window in the lateral sinus wall to access the sinus cavity. The sinus membrane is then carefully lifted, and bone graft material is packed into the space, promoting bone growth.
Open sinus lifting is recommended when the bone deficiency is significant, allowing for a more substantial bone graft. Skilled oral surgeons or periodontists perform this procedure, ensuring optimal results and successful dental implant placement for patients with severe bone loss in the posterior upper jaw.
Benefits of Sinus Lift Procedures
Benefit from Increased Bone Height: Sinus lifting techniques enhance bone height in the posterior upper jaw, providing a strong base for dental implant placement.
Boosted Implant Success: These procedures increase dental implant success in areas with insufficient bone support, ensuring long-term stability.
Regained Chewing Function: Sinus lifting allows the placement of implants supporting functional and natural-looking prosthetic teeth, facilitating comfortable chewing and speaking.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Replenishing bone volume in the upper jaw through sinus lift procedures restores facial aesthetics, promoting a more youthful and balanced appearance.
