Sinus Lift

Creating a Strong Foundation for Dental Implants

If you have experienced bone loss in your upper jaw, you may not have enough bone structure to support dental implants. A sinus lift is a specialized procedure that helps increase bone volume in the upper jaw, creating the support needed for successful implant placement. At Elite Dentistry, we provide advanced sinus lift procedures to help patients restore their smiles and become candidates for dental implants.

Why You May Need a Sinus Lift

The upper back portion of the jaw often has limited bone height due to natural anatomy, tooth loss, or bone deterioration over time. When the sinus cavity extends too close to the jawbone, there may not be enough space to securely place dental implants.

A sinus lift helps address this issue by gently raising the sinus membrane and adding bone material beneath it. This process creates additional bone support and improves the likelihood of long-term implant success.

A sinus lift may be recommended if you:

Have lost teeth in the upper back jaw
Have insufficient bone for dental implants
Have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease
Have naturally large sinus cavities
Want a long-lasting solution for missing teeth

Benefits of a Sinus Lift

A sinus lift offers several advantages for patients considering dental implants, including:

Increases bone height in the upper jaw
Creates adequate support for dental implants
Improves long-term implant success
Restores lost bone volume
Enhances oral function and stability
Expands treatment options for tooth replacement

By rebuilding the jawbone in areas with insufficient support, a sinus lift can make implant treatment possible for many patients who would otherwise not qualify.

How a Sinus Lift Works

During the procedure, the sinus membrane is carefully elevated to create space between the sinus cavity and the jawbone. Bone grafting material is then placed into the newly created area to encourage bone growth and strengthen the jaw.

Over time, the graft material integrates with your natural bone, increasing bone density and providing the support needed for future dental implants. Once healing is complete, implant placement can be performed with greater stability and predictability.
