What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is a specialized surgical procedure that enhances the upper jaw by adding bone beneath the sinus cavity to support dental implants. This procedure is often necessary when there isn't enough natural bone in the upper jaw to securely anchor implants, often due to tooth loss or natural bone resorption. At Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery, we perform sinus lift procedures to help patients achieve the structural support needed for long-term implant success. With locations in Hoover, Jasper, and Clanton, AL, our team is dedicated to providing sinus lifts for implant placement to restore function and confidence.
How Is a Sinus Lift Performed?
A sinus lift is performed by creating a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the underlying bone in the upper jaw. A tiny window is then made in the bone, allowing our oral surgeon to gently lift the sinus membrane upward, creating space for the bone graft material. This material, which may come from your own body, a donor source, or a synthetic substitute, is placed in the newly created area to build up the bone. The surgical site is then closed with sutures, and the bone graft is given time to integrate with your natural bone. This procedure helps ensure a stable foundation for dental implants, particularly in cases where natural bone volume is insufficient.
What Are the Benefits of a Sinus Lift?
Sinus lift surgery provides several advantages for individuals preparing for dental implants in the upper jaw, including:
- Enhances bone volume and density in the upper jaw
- Creates a stable foundation for successful dental implant placement
- Restores bone lost from tooth extractions, gum disease, or aging
- Improves oral function for better chewing and speaking
- Supports a more natural and aesthetically pleasing smile
