Sinus Lift

A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized surgical procedure used to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw, specifically in the area of the molars and premolars. This is often necessary when there isn't enough natural bone height due to bone loss from tooth loss, periodontal disease, or the natural anatomy of the sinus cavity. During the procedure, the sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed into the space between the jaw and the sinus. Over time, this material integrates with your natural bone, creating a stable foundation for dental implants.

The primary benefit of a sinus lift is that it enables patients who were previously not candidates for dental implants to receive long-lasting, secure replacements for missing teeth. Dental implants require a strong base of bone for support, and without sufficient bone, implants are likely to fail. A sinus lift not only restores bone height but also improves the overall strength and density of the upper jaw. This allows patients to enjoy the full function and appearance of natural teeth with the confidence that their implants are supported by a solid, healthy structure.
