Sinus Lift

At Nova Dental Care, we offer sinus lift procedures to help patients achieve successful dental implant placement. A sinus lift, also known as a sinus augmentation, adds bone to the upper jaw in areas where natural bone density is insufficient. This essential preparatory procedure ensures a strong foundation for long-lasting dental implants.

What Is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift involves gently elevating the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material into the space to increase bone density in the upper jaw. This is typically necessary for patients whose bone in the upper molar and premolar region is too thin or soft to support dental implants securely.

Why Might You Need a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift is often recommended if:

• Bone Loss Has Occurred: Bone density decreases over time after tooth loss, especially in the upper jaw near the sinus cavity.
• Dental Implants Are Planned: Implants require sufficient bone for stability, and a sinus lift creates the necessary support.
• Sinuses Are Too Close to the Jaw: The procedure repositions the sinus membrane to prevent interference with implant placement.

The Benefits of a Sinus Lift

• Improves Implant Success: Provides the stable foundation needed for long-lasting dental implants.
• Restores Jaw Functionality: Enhances bone structure to support a natural-looking and functional smile.
• Prevents Complications: Ensures implants are placed safely without impacting the sinus cavity.

What to Expect During a Sinus Lift Procedure

1. Consultation and Planning: During your initial visit, Dr. Kenneth Hsieh, DDS, will perform a comprehensive exam, including Digital X-rays and advanced imaging, to assess your bone structure and plan your procedure.
   
   
2. Procedure: Local anesthesia ensures comfort while our team gently lifts the sinus membrane and places bone graft material to augment the upper jaw.
   
   
3. Healing Period: Over the next 4-9 months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a strong base for implants.
   
   
4. Implant Placement: Once the area has fully healed, dental implants can be securely placed for a stable and functional restoration.

Maintain Bone Health: Regular Cleanings and Exams are essential for ongoing oral health and the longevity of your implants.
