A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, creates additional space in the maxillary sinus to accommodate new bone. The maxillary sinuses, located above the upper jaw, play a pivotal role in dental implant placement. By lifting the sinus and grafting bone, dentists ensure a stable foundation for implants. Reasons for bone loss include birth defects, cancer, natural variations, and periodontal disease.
Lifting the sinus membrane, a delicate procedure known as sinus lift or sinus augmentation, involves creating space in the upper jawbone to facilitate dental implant placement. By carefully elevating the sinus membrane, bone grafting material can be inserted, promoting bone growth and enhancing implant success in areas with limited bone volume.
Consultation: Discuss goals and assess oral health
Imaging Studies: X-rays or CT scans reveal jawbone health
Sinus Lift: The sinus membrane is gently lifted, creating space
Bone Graft: Graft material is placed between the sinus and jawbone
The primary goal of sinus augmentation is to provide adequate bone support for dental implants. Without sufficient bone, implants cannot anchor properly, affecting chewing function and overall stability. Whether you’re addressing tooth loss or preparing for implants, a well-executed sinus lift ensures successful implant integration.
