At Springs Dental, many patients come in excited about the possibility of dental implants, only to find that their upper jaw does not have the right bone structure to support them. Without sufficient bone density, placing implants can be risky. This is where a sinus lift becomes essential. Performed with precision by our experienced team, this procedure helps rebuild bone and prepare your mouth for long-lasting restoration.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that increases bone in the upper jaw, especially in the area that supports the back teeth, like premolars and molars. During the surgery, bone material is placed between the jaw and the maxillary sinus, creating a stronger foundation for dental implants. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, which means you will not feel pain during the process, though some mild discomfort afterward is normal.
When Is a Sinus Lift Recommended?
Tooth loss in the upper jaw often leads to gradual bone erosion. Over time, this makes it difficult to place implants safely. If bone is missing, the implant may penetrate the sinus cavity and cause complications. A sinus lift is recommended in these situations because it restores bone volume, allowing implants to be placed securely. In other words, the procedure not only corrects bone loss but also makes it possible to regain both function and appearance through dental implants.
The Benefits of a Sinus Lift
The value of a sinus lift extends well beyond implant preparation. By increasing bone density, the procedure provides a stable foundation for new teeth and helps restore your ability to chew and speak with confidence. It also prevents further bone deterioration in the upper jaw, which is important for maintaining long-term oral health. Another benefit is the way it supports facial structure, contributing to a more youthful appearance. The overall effect is both functional and cosmetic, giving you back the strength and look of a healthy smile.
