Make Room in Your Upper Jaw for Dental Implants

If you are interested in dental implants, your dentist may recommend a sinus lift if you’ve have bone loss in the area. This procedure lifts the sinus floor to make extra space in your upper jaw for the implants. It also increases bone density, giving your new teeth a strong and stable foundation.

Before any treatment begins, your dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth to see if implants are right for you. We’ll use advanced technology like CBCT scans and digital X-rays to plan your procedure carefully. This ensures your treatment fits your unique oral structure.

There are two main sinus lift techniques your dentist might use:

  • Vertical Sinus Lift – This minimally-invasive method is used if only a small lift is needed. It’s often done at the same time as implant placement, making the process quicker.
  • Lateral Sinus Lift – In this procedure, the sinus is gently moved upward through a small opening in the jawbone. This creates space for bone graft material, preparing you for implants.

After your sinus lift, there is a healing period. It may vary depending on the technique used. Once fully healed, you’ll be ready for implant placement, bringing you one step closer to enjoying the full benefits of your restored smile.
