What is Sinus Lift ?
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure performed to add bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. This treatment is necessary when there is insufficient bone height in the posterior maxilla (upper jaw) to support dental implants. At Egedent Dental Clinic, our experienced dentists perform sinus lifts using advanced techniques and materials to achieve optimal results.
Benefits of Sinus Lift
- Support for Dental Implants: Sinus lift procedures create the necessary bone height and density to support dental implants securely.
- Improved Implant Success: By enhancing bone volume, sinus lifts increase the success rate of dental implant procedures in the posterior maxilla.
- Restoration of Facial Structure: Rebuilding bone in the upper jaw helps maintain facial contours and prevent the appearance of premature aging.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Sinus lifts improve the aesthetic outcomes of dental implant treatments, ensuring a natural-looking smile.
- Long-Term Oral Health: Strengthening the bone structure supports overall oral health and enhances the stability of dental restorations.
Our Sinus Lift Process
- Consultation: Your journey to a restored smile begins with a thorough consultation at Egedent Dental Clinic. Our dentists will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and determine if a sinus lift is appropriate for you.
- Imaging and Treatment Planning: Advanced imaging techniques such as CT scans are used to assess the bone structure and plan the sinus lift procedure. A customized treatment plan is created based on your individual needs.
- Sinus Augmentation Surgery: The sinus lift procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation for your comfort. The dentist accesses the sinus membrane through a small incision in the gum tissue. The membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is inserted into the space created between the jawbone and the sinus floor.
- Bone Graft Integration: Over the next several months, the bone graft material will integrate with your existing bone through a process called osseointegration. This process strengthens the bone and prepares it to support dental implants.
- Implant Placement: Once the healing period is complete and the bone has fully integrated, dental implants can be placed into the newly augmented bone during a separate procedure.
- Final Restoration: After the implants have fused with the bone, custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely attached to restore function and aesthetics.
