Elevate Bone Volume for Implants with a Sinus Lift
Dental implants can be successfully placed with sinus lift surgery, or sinus augmentation, which increases the amount of bone between the maxillary sinuses and the jaw.
Our dentist, Dr. Khoury, at John Khoury Dental, is well-trained and skilled in performing Sinus Lift Procedures.
What is a Sinus Lift?
The quality of the bone and the quantity of the bone are critical to implant success. Dental implants have traditionally been difficult to place in the upper jaw because the bone is less dense around the sinuses. Furthermore, the placement of implants may not be possible if you have lost bone in that area due to periodontal disease or tooth loss.
Sinus lift surgery, also known as sinus augmentation, is an alternative solution. As a result, the sinus floor is raised, creating bone for dental implants to attach to. For those who may have once been told dental implants in the upper jaw were not an option for them, sinus lifts provide a solution and path for dental implantation.
Why You Might Need a Sinus Lift
You may need a sinus lift if you don’t have enough bone height in the upper jaw or your sinuses are too close to the jaw for dental implants to be placed. What might be causing your bone loss? Some causes of bone loss include:
- Insufficient Bone for Implants
Bone loss resulting from missing teeth gum disease, or sinuses that are too close to the jaw for implants, may require a sinus lift. - Preparation for Dental Implants
Bone density is necessary to ensure dental implant success. To anchor implants securely, a sinus lift can create the necessary volume. - Bone Loss from Missing Teeth
The surrounding bone may deteriorate over time if teeth are lost. In the upper back jaw, sinus lifts can help rebuild this bone.
