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 after the procedure, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Tips for a faster recovery:
Most patients feel fine and can return to work within a week. The bone graft may take a few months to integrate with the jaws before the next phase of dental implants begins.
Unaware that their jawbone changes over time, many people continue to live with the gap left by missing back teeth for years without getting help; this leads to bone loss.
Bone loss can result from gum disease, tooth loss, or even ageing naturally. When this happens in the upper jaw, there may not be enough bone to properly support dental implants, making placement difficult.
Your implant dentist may advise sinus lifting procedures in the following cases:
In case you want to restore your smile with dental implants and there’s not sufficient bone to support them, then the implant dentists advise using a sinus graft procedure.
No. We perform the procedure under local anaesthesia, so you will not experience any pain. Any discomfort afterwards is usually mild and can be managed with standard pain relief.
Depending on the case, the procedure can last between one and two hours. You will be able to go home the same day and begin work in the coming days.
Implants can sometimes be placed in the same appointment. Some patients, however, will have to wait a few months for the bone to completely integrate and heal before getting implants.
