Sinus lift is a surgery that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars.
Sometimes called sinus augmentation, to make room for the artificial bone, the sinus membrane has to be moved upward, or “lifted.”
Sinus lift at Warsaw Dental Center is performed by a specialist in dental surgery. You may need this procedure if you have lost your upper molars or premolars and there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw to place dental implants. Sinus lift surgery can be done at the same time as implant placement or as a separate procedure, depending on your specific situation.
The surgical specialist will use 3D imaging and a special treatment planning software to determine the most suitable treatment for you and how long it will take to restore your full smile.
Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation
Meeting with the patient to assess the need for sinus lift and the overall health of the oral cavity and maxillary sinuses.
Step 2: Diagnostic Tests
Conducting detailed diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or CBCT (cone beam computed tomography), to accurately assess the anatomy of the sinuses and plan the procedure.
Step 3: Treatment Planning
Based on the test results, the specialist develops an individualized plan for sinus lift, considering the best techniques and materials.
Step 4: Procedure
The sinus lift procedure is performed under local anesthesia (or general anesthesia, depending on the case), where the surgeon gently lifts the sinus membrane and places bone material to increase bone volume.
Step 5: Recovery
After the procedure, the patient receives detailed instructions for post-operative care, including dietary recommendations, hygiene, and activities, to ensure proper healing.
Step 6: Post-operative Check-up
Scheduling follow-up visits to monitor the healing process and integration of the bone material with the existing bone.
Step 7: Further Treatment
After the healing process is complete and sufficient bone volume is achieved, further treatment stages, such as dental implantation, may be initiated.
At Warsaw Dental Center, we ensure that the sinus lift process is carried out with the utmost care, using the latest techniques and materials to provide patients with the best treatment outcomes.
This procedure is recommended for patients who need dental implants in the upper jaw area but have insufficient bone due to various reasons, such as natural bone resorption or previous tooth extractions.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which minimizes pain during the procedure. After the procedure, there may be slight discomfort and swelling, but these are usually easily controlled with recommended pain relievers and cold packs.
The recovery time can vary depending on individual factors and the extent of the procedure. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. However, the full integration of the added bone material with the existing bone may take several months.
