Sinus Lift

Sinus lift surgery is a specialized dental procedure that can greatly benefit patients who require dental implants in the upper jaw but do not have enough bone to support them. At Smile Flossophy, we are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality of care and the latest advances in periodontal treatments, including sinus lift surgery. 

What is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure used in periodontics to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw. It is often necessary for patients who have lost teeth in the posterior maxilla (the upper back teeth) and who do not have enough bone in that area to support dental implants. The procedure involves lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material in the space between the jaw and the sinus. This new bone then fuses with the existing bone over time, creating a stable base for dental implants. Sinus lifts are typically performed by periodontists or oral surgeons and can be done using different techniques depending on the individual patient’s needs.

At Smile Flossophy, our team of highly skilled periodontists is dedicated to providing our patients with the most advanced and effective treatments to restore their oral health. As part of our comprehensive periodontal services, we offer sinus lifts to help those who have experienced bone loss in the upper jaw and require dental implants. Our expertise and attention to detail ensure that our patients receive the best possible care for successful sinus lift procedures.

Sinus Lift Benefits

Sinus lifts offer a range of benefits for patients who require this procedure. First and foremost, a sinus lift allows for dental implants to be placed in the upper jaw, which may not have been possible otherwise due to insufficient bone density. By creating additional bone mass, a sinus lift improves the stability and longevity of dental implants, ensuring a stronger foundation for your teeth. In addition, sinus lifts may also improve the aesthetics of your smile, as they help to restore the natural contours of your face and prevent the sunken appearance that can occur with bone loss. Finally, by addressing issues related to bone loss, sinus lifts can help prevent further dental problems in the future, promoting optimal oral health and function for years to come.

What to Expect?

When patients come in for a sinus lift procedure at Smile Flossophy, they can expect a comprehensive evaluation of their oral health and a detailed consultation with one of our experienced dental professionals. During this consultation, we will discuss your specific needs, medical history, and any concerns you may have about the procedure.

Prior to the procedure, our team will take detailed x-rays and scans of your mouth to determine the exact location and extent of the bone loss. We will then use this information to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

During the procedure, our team will make a small incision in the gum tissue and gently lift the sinus membrane to create space for the bone graft material. Once the graft is in place, we will carefully suture the incision and provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your mouth during the recovery period.

At Smile Flossophy, we understand that undergoing any dental procedure can be a daunting experience. That’s why our team of experienced dental professionals is dedicated to providing our patients with a comfortable and stress-free environment.
