Were you all set to get a brand new smile with dental implants only to be told you might need another sinus lifting procedure?

It may sound daunting at first, but the sinus lift procedure in Idle is a fairly common and simple step performed while placing dental implants in your upper jaws. Are you curious about what a sinus lift is and why it is necessary? Read on to find out more.

What is a sinus lift procedure?

The sinuses are hollow spaces filled with air located above the back of your upper jaw. They are membrane-covered and shaped like a balloon.

When teeth are missing for an extended period of time, the bone that used to support them shrinks. Because of this bone loss and the natural position of your sinuses, you may have insufficient bone to support dental implants.

A sinus lift procedure, also known as sinus augmentation for implants, gently raises the sinus membrane and places bone material into the area, creating a solid foundation for implants.

It is intended to increase the amount of bone in your upper jaw, specifically around your back teeth and near the sinuses.

The benefits of a sinus lift procedure

To put it together, a sinus lift procedure has many contributions to the success of your dental implants. The benefits include:

Dental implants are possible now

A sinus lift provides the foundation for stable and long-lasting implants.

Prevents further bone loss

Adding bone graft material not only supports the implants but also prevents further bone loss in the area, preserving your jaw structure.

Restore confidence

Once your implants are in place, you will have a strong, stable smile that looks and feels natural.

Improves quality of life

From eating your favourite foods to speaking clearly and smiling confidently, the advantages of stable implants are life-changing.

Cost-effective

Sinus lift procedure costs are usually within the budget of typical dental implant procedures for multiple teeth or full mouth rehabilitation. Furthermore, it ensures stable dental implants with minimal additional maintenance costs.

How is recovery after a sinus lift procedure?

You’d be happy to know that most people find sinus lift procedures much easier than expected. You may experience mild swelling and discomfort following the procedure, but this is usually treatable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Tips for a faster recovery:

  • To protect the surgical site, try not to blow your nose or sneeze too hard.
Taylored Dental Care
  • Stick to soft foods for a few days and follow the aftercare instructions we will give you.
  • Attend your follow-up appointments so that we can track your healing progress.

Most patients feel normal and return to work within a week. The bone graft may take a few months to integrate with the jaws for the next phase of dental implants thereafter.

Is a sinus lift implant surgery necessary?

Many people keep the space of missing back teeth for years without intervention. They are unaware that their jawbone changes over time. Missing teeth, gum disease, and even natural ageing can cause bone loss. If this occurs in the upper jaw, placing dental implants can be difficult because there is insufficient bone to hold them securely.

Taylored Dental Care

Your implant dentist may advise sinus lifting procedures in the following cases:

  • You have been missing upper back teeth for quite some time, and the bone in your upper jaw has deteriorated.
  • Your sinuses are naturally large, extending into the space required for implants.
  • If you want to restore your smile with dental implants and there’s insufficient bone to support them, then the implant dentists advise using a sinus graft procedure.

Frequently asked questions

Is a sinus lift painful?

No. We perform the procedure with local anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. Any discomfort afterwards is usually mild and can be managed with standard pain relief.

How long does a sinus lift take?

Depending on the case, the procedure typically lasts between one and two hours. You’ll be able to go home the same day and start work in the next few days.

Can I get dental implants right after a sinus lift?

In some cases, implants can be placed during the same appointment. However, some patients will need to wait a few months for the bone to heal and fully integrate before proceeding with implants.
