Sinus Lift Surgery
A specialized procedure that safely and effectively increases bone volume, making your dream smile possible.
The Power of Sinus Lift Surgery
For many people seeking dental implants, especially for the upper back teeth, a lack of bone height can be a major obstacle.
This often happens when the maxillary sinuses are too close to the jawbone, leaving insufficient room for a successful implant.
At Saphire Dent dental clinic, we specialize in Sinus Lift Surgery, a common and effective procedure that creates the necessary bone for secure and long-lasting dental implants
Overcoming Bone Loss:
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure where we gently lift the sinus membrane and place bone graft material into the space created. Over time, this graft integrates with your natural bone, forming a solid foundation for your implants.
Our expert team uses advanced techniques and materialsto ensure the highest success rates. We understand that surgery can be challenging, which is why we are committed to providing compassionate care, clear explanations, and a comfortable environment throughout your entire treatment.
Why is a Sinus Lift Necessary?
A sinus lift is often recommended for several key reasons:
Insufficient Bone Height
- This is the most common reason, where the sinus cavity is too close to the jawbone for implant placement
Bone Loss after Tooth Extraction
- When teeth are removed, the bone can resorb over time, reducing its height.
Long-Term Denture Wear
- Extended use of dentures can lead to significant bone deterioration.
Natural Anatomy
- Some people naturally have larger sinus cavities or thinner bone.
Common Dental Questions
A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure to add bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. If you have poor dental health or have been missing teeth for a while, the bone in your upper jaw may not be thick enough to support a dental implant. A sinus lift addresses this issue, creating a strong and stable foundation for a new tooth.
Yes, a sinus lift is an excellent option for individuals who have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth. This procedure can restore the necessary bone volume, allowing you to receive dental implants that will improve your ability to chew and restore your smile.
The sinus lift procedure itself typically takes about 45 to 90 minutes. The recovery period is usually quick, with most people experiencing only minor swelling and discomfort for a few days. For our international patients from countries like Canada, the UK, Germany, Sweden, and the USA, we provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. The bone will then need a few months to fully integrate with the graft before the implants can be placed.
We use local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and feel no pain during the procedure. While you may experience some minor discomfort and swelling afterward, this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Our team will ensure you have a comfortable experience and will be available to answer any questions you have throughout your recovery.
The cost of dental implant procedures can vary depending on the complexity of your case and whether additional procedures, like a sinus lift, are needed. We offer a range of solutions to fit different needs and budgets. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed treatment plan and transparent pricing, so you have a clear understanding of all costs involved.
