Sinus lift surgery, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized dental procedure designed to enhance your upper jaw’s bone mass. This surgery is often necessary for patients who lack sufficient bone height in the upper jaw or whose sinuses are too close to the jaw for dental implants to be placed. Our oral surgeons are highly trained in this advanced procedure, ensuring a seamless integration of function and aesthetics.
Am I a Candidate for Sinus Lift?
- are missing more than one tooth in the back of your jaw
- are missing a significant amount of bone in the back of your jaw
- are missing teeth due to a birth defect or condition
- are missing most of the maxillary teeth and require support for dental implants
Why Do I Need a Sinus Lift?
Improving Eligibility for Dental Implants
If you’ve been told that dental implants aren’t an option due to insufficient bone structure, a sinus lift can change that. By elevating the sinus membrane and adding bone to your upper jaw, we create the necessary foundation for implant placement, paving the way for stable and long-lasting dental solutions.
Long-Term Benefits for Oral Health
A sinus lift not only makes it possible to install dental implants, it also contributes to overall oral health. This procedure helps prevent future bone loss, maintaining the structure of your face and jaw. Plus, it allows for the placement of implants that look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your smile and chewing ability.
