What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the bone volume in the upper jaw, specifically in the area surrounding the maxillary sinus. This procedure is typically necessary when the sinus cavity has enlarged or when there is insufficient bone for successful dental implant placement. A sinus lift is often recommended for patients who have experienced bone loss in the upper jaw due to tooth loss, gum disease, or age. The procedure begins with a small incision in the gum tissue to access the sinus area.
Once the sinus membrane is carefully lifted, a grafting material, which can be derived from the patient’s own bone or donor tissue, is placed into the sinus cavity to augment the bone volume. This added material helps create a stable foundation for dental implants, allowing them to be securely placed in the upper jaw. A sinus lift procedure not only facilitates the placement of dental implants but also supports the overall health and stability of your dental structure, ensuring long-term success.
