Sinus Lifting

We have helped countless patients achieve exceptional outcomes with dental sinus lifting procedures. By using only the highest-quality dental materials from German, Swiss, French, and Swedish manufacturers, we ensure precision, safety, and long-lasting results. This procedure is performed with care and expertise by our highly skilled doctors, delivering the best possible experience and outcomes.

What is Dental Sinus Lifting?

Dental sinus lifting, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure designed to increase the bone height in the upper jaw to prepare for dental implant placement. The procedure involves lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material to create a stable foundation for implants. It is especially useful when the natural bone is insufficient to support implants in the molar or premolar areas of the upper jaw.

Types of Sinus Lifting

1. Direct Sinus Lift:

   • Performed when there is minimal bone height available (less than 4–5mm).

   • Involves creating a small window in the sinus wall to directly access and lift the sinus membrane.

   • Bone graft material is placed, and implants may be inserted immediately or after healing.

2. Indirect Sinus Lift:

   • Used when there is more bone height available (5–7mm).

   • The sinus membrane is lifted through the implant site without creating a lateral window.

   • This approach is less invasive and typically involves simultaneous implant placement.

     
     

Why Do We Need Sinus Lifting?

Sinus lifting is necessary to:

• Support Dental Implants: When the natural bone in the upper jaw is insufficient for implant stability.

• Address Bone Loss: Bone loss may occur due to periodontal disease, tooth loss, or aging, making sinus lifting essential for implant placement.

• Enhance Implant Longevity: Adequate bone volume ensures a secure and long-lasting implant.

  
  

The Procedure

1. Initial Consultation:

   • Comprehensive examination with X-rays or 3D imaging to assess sinus anatomy and bone condition.

   • Treatment plan tailored to the patient's specific needs.

2. Preparation:

   • Local anesthesia or sedation to ensure comfort.

   • Small incision made in the gum tissue to access the sinus area.

3. Sinus Membrane Lift:

   • Direct Sinus Lift: A small window is created in the lateral sinus wall, and the sinus membrane is carefully lifted. Bone graft material is added.

   • Indirect Sinus Lift: A smaller access is made through the implant site, and the sinus membrane is lifted with specialized instruments.

4. Bone Graft Placement:

   • Bone graft material is placed in the lifted area to create a solid foundation for implants.

5. Healing Period:

   • Healing typically takes 4–9 months, allowing the bone graft to integrate with the existing bone.

6. Implant Placement:

   • Implants are placed either simultaneously with the sinus lift or after the healing period, depending on the case.

     
     

Who Needs a Sinus Lifting Procedure?

Sinus lifting is recommended for:

• Patients with insufficient bone height in the upper jaw for implants.

• Individuals with significant bone loss due to long-term tooth loss or periodontal disease.

• Those needing implants in the upper molar or premolar regions where the sinus cavity is close to the jawbone.
