A sinus lift provides the foundation for stable and long-lasting implants.
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:
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.
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.
Your implant dentist may advise sinus lifting procedures in the following cases:
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.
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.
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.
