A sinus lift, also known as a sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure designed to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw, specifically in the area of the molars and premolars. This procedure is often necessary when there is insufficient bone height or density to support dental implants. It involves lifting the sinus membrane and placing a bone graft to create a stable foundation for implants.
1. Enhanced Implant Support
By increasing the bone volume in the upper jaw, a sinus lift provides a solid base for dental implants, ensuring their stability and success.
2. Improved Bone Density
The procedure helps regenerate bone tissue, which can enhance the overall density and health of your jawbone.
3. Restored Functionality
A successful sinus lift allows for the placement of implants, restoring the ability to chew effectively and improving overall oral function.
4. Aesthetic Enhancement
With adequate bone support, dental implants can be placed in a way that closely resembles natural teeth, improving the appearance of your smile.
1. Initial Evaluation
Dr. Navid Baradarian will conduct a comprehensive examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your bone structure and determine if a sinus lift is necessary.
2. Surgical Intervention
During the procedure, a small incision is made in the gum to access the sinus cavity. The sinus membrane is carefully lifted, and bone graft material is placed in the newly created space.
3. Healing Period
The bone graft material integrates with your existing bone over several months, a process known as osseointegration, creating a robust foundation for dental implants.
4. Implant Placement
Once healing is complete, dental implants can be placed, completing the restoration process and allowing you to enjoy a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
