Were you all set to get a brand new smile with dental implants?

Only to find out you might need another sinus-lifting procedure. It may appear daunting at first, but the sinus lift procedure in Wibsey is a fairly common and straightforward step in the process of placing dental implants in your upper jaws. Are you curious about sinus lifts and why they are necessary? Read on to learn more.

What is a sinus lift procedure?

A hollow space above the back of your upper jaw, the sinuses are filled with air. They have a balloon-like shape and are membrane-covered. Long-term tooth loss causes the bone that once supported the teeth to deteriorate.

You might not have enough bone to support dental implants as a result of this bone loss and the natural position of your sinuses.

A sinus lift procedure, also known as sinus augmentation for implants, gently raises the sinus membrane and introduces bone material to the region, forming a strong implant base.

Its goal is to build more bone in your upper jaw, particularly in the area around your sinuses and back teeth.

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 supports the implants and prevents further bone loss in the area, preserving your jaw structure.

Regain confidence

You will have a stable, strong smile that feels and looks natural after your implants are placed.

Improves quality of life

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

Cost-effective

Sinus lift procedures typically fall within the budget for conventional dental implant procedures for multiple teeth or full mouth rehabilitation. Furthermore, it ensures stable dental implants with low 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 after the procedure, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Tips for a faster recovery:

  • To avoid damaging the surgical site, do not blow your nose or sneeze too hard.
Taylored Dental Care
  • For a few days, stick to soft foods and follow the aftercare instructions we will provide.
  • Attend your follow-up appointments so we can monitor your healing progress.

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.

Is a sinus lift implant surgery necessary?

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.

Taylored Dental Care

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

  • Your upper jaw bone has deteriorated as you have had missing upper back teeth for a while.
  • Your sinuses are naturally large and extend into the area where implants need to be placed.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is a sinus lift painful?

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.

How long does a sinus lift take?

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.

Can I get dental implants right after a sinus lift?

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.
