At Smile On Westbury in Westbury, we understand that dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring smiles. However, in some cases, the upper jawbone may not have enough height or density to support dental implants due to factors such as sinus expansion or bone loss. In such situations, sinus lift surgery becomes necessary.
Sinus lift surgery, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized dental procedure performed to augment the maxillary sinus, which is located above the upper jawbone. During the surgery, the sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed beneath it. This creates additional bone height and volume in the area, providing a stable foundation for the placement of dental implants. Sinus lift surgery is typically performed when the existing bone in the upper jaw is insufficient to support dental implants.
Implant Dentistry
The primary goal of sinus lift surgery is to increase the bone volume in the upper jaw. By placing bone graft material in the sinus cavity, we create a solid base of bone that can support the dental implant. This additional bone volume allows for the successful placement and integration of dental implants, restoring the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
Sinus lift surgery opens up new possibilities for dental implant placement in individuals with insufficient bone in the upper jaw. Dental implants provide a long-lasting, durable, and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. With sinus lift surgery, we can overcome the limitations posed by inadequate bone height and density, ensuring that you can benefit from the advantages of dental implants to restore your smile.
Dental implants require a stable foundation for long-term success. By performing sinus lift surgery, we create a solid and secure environment for the placement of dental implants. The additional bone volume obtained through the procedure enhances the stability and support for the dental implants, increasing their success rate and longevity.
Missing teeth not only affect the aesthetics of your smile but also impact your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper oral health. Sinus lift surgery combined with dental implants allows for the restoration of both aesthetics and functionality. Dental implants closely resemble natural teeth in appearance and function, enabling you to smile, eat, and speak with confidence and ease.
