Sinus lift surgery may be required if your jaw bone has deteriorated due to trauma or gum disease.
Sinus Lift Surgery is performed safely and comfortably under anesthetic.
A sinus lift surgery may at times be required before a dental implant procedure can be done. This type of surgery is generally required when a person has insufficient bone in the upper jaw to support dental implants. Sinus lift surgery (or maxillary sinus floor augmentation) is similar to dental bone grafting but a procedure that is specifically done to graft bone to the upper jaw near the position of the molars and premolars. During the surgical procedure, the maxillary sinus membrane which are the closest to teeth is lifted up to make space for additional bone which is required for dental implant treatment to proceed.
Our in-house oral and maxillofacial surgeon has done several sinus lift surgeries and will provide treatments under local (or general?) anesthetic. Contact our friendly team today to find out more about Sinus Lift Surgery or to book in an appointment with our oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Your eligibility for sinus lift surgery will be determined through a comprehensive evaluation by our oral and maxillofacial surgeon. This assessment will include a review of your dental and medical history, as well as imaging studies to evaluate the condition of your upper jaw bone. If you are found to have insufficient bone for dental implants, a sinus lift may be recommended as part of your treatment plan.
