Sinus Lifts
If you're thinking about getting an implant in the rear of your upper jaw, you might be informed that a sinus lift is necessary.
What does a sinus lift for a tooth implant involve?
A sinus lift in tooth implant surgery is a procedure that involves adding bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. This bone augmentation is performed in the maxillary sinus, which is located on either side of the nose, above the upper jaw. During the procedure, the sinus membrane is lifted, and bone graft material is inserted into the empty space between the jaw and the sinus floor. This helps increase the bone height and density, providing a stable foundation for dental implants in the upper back teeth region where natural bone may have deteriorated due to tooth loss or other factors. A sinus lift creates a suitable environment for successful implant placement and ensures long-term stability and functionality.
