If you’re considering dental implants but have been told you don’t have enough upper jawbone to support them, Sinus Lift Surgery could be the ideal solution. At Dental Opal, we specialize in advanced sinus lift procedures designed to increase bone volume and provide a strong foundation for long-lasting dental implants.

What Is Sinus Lift Surgery?

Sinus Lift Surgery, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized dental procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. This is done by “lifting” the sinus membrane and placing a bone graft between the jaw and the maxillary sinuses, which are located on either side of your nose. The new bone integrates with your natural jawbone over time, creating enough density to securely support dental implants.

Why You Might Need a Sinus Lift

Tooth loss, especially in the upper jaw, often leads to bone deterioration. Over time, the bone height may become too insufficient to hold an implant. Some common reasons for undergoing Sinus Lift Surgery include:

  • Bone loss from periodontal disease or long-term tooth absence

  • Natural anatomy (some people naturally have less bone in the upper jaw)

  • Proximity of the sinuses to the jawbone

  • Preparation for future dental implants

At Dental Opal, our team carefully evaluates your bone structure using advanced imaging techniques to determine whether a sinus lift is necessary and to customize your treatment plan accordingly.

The Sinus Lift Procedure at Dental Opal

Here’s what you can expect when you undergo Sinus Lift Surgery at Dental Opal:

1. Comprehensive Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough dental exam, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess bone quality and plan the procedure precisely.

2. Local Anesthesia and Comfort Care

We ensure your comfort with local anesthesia or sedation options. The procedure is performed with precision and care to minimize discomfort.

3. Sinus Membrane Elevation

A small incision is made in the gum to expose the jawbone. A tiny window is then created in the bone to gently lift the sinus membrane.

4. Bone Graft Placement

A biocompatible bone grafting material is inserted into the space, which stimulates natural bone growth over the following months.

5. Healing and Integration

The healing period typically ranges from 4 to 9 months, during which the graft fuses with your natural bone. After this, your jaw will be ready for dental implant placement.
