Book for Sinus Lift Treatment

Achieving a successful implant placement is crucial for your dental health. If you’re considering implants and may require a sinus lift, our experienced team is here to guide you through the process.

Sinus Lift Enhancing Your Implant Success

At IDS, we offer sinus lift procedures to enhance the success of dental implants for patients with insufficient bone height in the upper jaw. This surgical technique prepares the site for implants by increasing the bone volume in the sinus area, ensuring a stable foundation for your new teeth.

What Is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift, also known as a sinus augmentation, involves elevating the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material to the upper jawbone, particularly in the area of the molars and premolars. This procedure is essential for patients who have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease, tooth loss, or other factors, making it difficult to place dental implants.

The Benefits of a Sinus Lift

Increased Bone Volume

A sinus lift provides additional bone structure, enabling the placement of dental implants in areas previously deemed unsuitable.

Improved Implant Stability

With sufficient bone density, implants can be securely anchored, increasing their longevity and functionality.

Restoration of Facial Contours

Rebuilding bone in the upper jaw helps maintain facial aesthetics, preventing the sunken appearance often associated with bone loss.

The Treatment Process

Initial Consultation

Your treatment begins with a detailed examination, including X-rays or 3D imaging, to evaluate your bone structure and discuss your needs.

Surgical Procedure

Under local anaesthesia, a small incision is made in the gum tissue, allowing access to the sinus membrane. The membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed in the space created.

Healing Period

After the procedure, a healing period of several months is required for the bone graft to integrate with your jawbone.

Implant Placement

Once the area has healed and sufficient bone is established, dental implants can be safely placed in the new bone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sinus Lift

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Local anaesthesia and sedation techniques are used to ensure your comfort.

Initial healing occurs within a few days, but the full integration of the bone graft can take several months before implants can be placed.

Not necessarily. A sinus lift is only required if there is inadequate bone height in the upper jaw. Our dentist will advise you of your specific needs during the consultation.

With proper care and oral hygiene, the results of a sinus lift can last for many years, providing a stable foundation for your implants.
