If you cannot get enough bone in your upper jaw to support an implant, a procedure known as the sinus lift is functional. At Dr Trupti’s Dental Destination, we have knowledge and expertise for safe, precise, and least-invasive sinus lifts to enhance the dental implant outcome. A sinus lift or sinus augmentation is a surgery that involves placing bone at the top of the upper jaw bone below the sinus to support the dental implants. This procedure benefits individuals with no teeth in the back of their mouth and no bone suitable for a dental implant.
What is Sinus Lift Surgery?
Sinus lift surgery is one of the bone augmentation procedures that aims to augment the bone height in the upper jaw, also known as the maxilla. This is done by lifting the sinus membrane and putting the matter made of bone in the area below it. After some time, the grafted bone is integrated with your bones, and the implants have good support.
Who Needs a Sinus Lift?
Here are some situations which may make you need a sinus lift
- Have insufficient bone height in the upper jaw for implants
- Have had tooth loss or periodontitis or are advanced in age
- Suffer from sinus headaches with large sinus cavities occupying most of the implant site
- Various conditions require fixing of teeth in the back upper jaw but offer poor bone mass
Types of Sinus Lift Procedures
Two fundamental sinus lift surgeries depend on the existing bone height.
- External (Lateral) Sinus Lift
- Applied if the defect concerned lies in the area where there is usually no bone in the upper jaw.
- A small hole is placed for access from the cheek side of the bone
- The sinus membrane is then raised, and proper bone graft material is placed
- Healing time: 4 to 9 months before implant placement
- Internal (Crestal) Sinus Lift
- Employed whenever at least some of the bone is to be retained
- Through the implant preparation site, a sinus floor is raised.
- Bone grafting material is used, and at the same time, the implant is placed.
- Requires only 3-4mm of additional bone height
Benefits of Sinus Lift Surgery
- Increasing bone volume for implant stability
- Preventing complications from implant failure due to insufficient bone
- Reconstructing the facial structure and minimising the reduction of the jaw bone.
- Improved oral function allows the user to communicate and eat food like any other person.
Risks & Recovery After a Sinus Lift
- Normal side effects: Swelling, mild discomfort, and temporary bruising.
- Patient recovery time: Most patients find relief within a week to three weeks.
- Postoperative care instructions include refraining from sneezing with the mouth open, blowing the nose or using a straw near the area.
- Discomfort: There is no severe pain; you can take regular Ibuprofen/Generic or Paracetamol for pain.
