A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that increases bone height in the upper jaw by adding bone material beneath the sinus cavity. This additional bone provides the necessary support for dental implants in the back portion of the upper jaw, where bone density is often limited. The sinus membrane is gently lifted, creating space for the bone graft material, which will integrate with your natural bone over time.
This procedure is essential for patients who have experienced bone loss due to prolonged tooth absence, aging, or other factors, and ensures that the upper jaw has enough bone to securely anchor dental implants.
At Natural Teeth Implant Center, we are dedicated to providing a comfortable and efficient experience for every patient undergoing a sinus lift. Here’s an overview of what to expect:
A sinus lift is typically recommended for patients who:
During your consultation, our specialists will evaluate your bone density and discuss whether a sinus lift is the best option to achieve a successful implant outcome.
The initial healing period lasts about two weeks, but full integration of the bone graft can take several months. We’ll monitor your progress during follow-up visits to ensure successful healing before proceeding with implants.
Our team prioritizes your comfort, offering sedation options to ensure a painless experience during the procedure. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with prescribed pain relief.
Bone grafting material can come from your own bone, a donor source, or synthetic materials. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best option for your needs.
Typically, a healing period of several months is required after a sinus lift to allow the bone graft to integrate. Once the new bone is stable, we can proceed with implant placement.
With proper care, the results of a sinus lift can be long-lasting, providing a stable foundation for implants that will last for many years.
