What Is a Sinus Lift?
Vero Beach Dentist
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure used to add bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. At Vero Beach Dentistry, this treatment is often recommended when there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw to support dental implants. The procedure involves gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone material into the space to create a stronger foundation. This added bone allows for proper implant placement and long-term stability.
Bone loss in the upper jaw can occur for several reasons, including tooth loss, natural anatomy, or periodontal disease. When the sinus cavity is too close to the jaw, there may not be enough room to securely place an implant. A sinus lift helps correct this by increasing bone volume and improving the overall structure of the area. The procedure is carefully planned using detailed imaging to ensure accuracy and safety. With proper healing time, the newly added bone integrates with your natural bone, making it possible to move forward with implant treatment and restore function.
Benefits of a Sinus Lift
- Supports Dental Implant Placement: A sinus lift creates the necessary bone structure for implants in the upper jaw. This allows for proper placement and stability. It helps ensure the long-term success of the restoration.
- Restores Bone Volume: The procedure adds bone where it has been lost or is insufficient. This improves the overall structure of the jaw. It provides a stronger foundation for future treatment.
- Improves Long-Term Oral Health: By enabling implant placement, a sinus lift supports better function and stability. This helps maintain proper alignment and bite. It contributes to overall oral health over time.
