Sinus Lift Surgery: Restore Bone, Restore Your Smile
What Is A Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation or maxillary sinus floor elevation, is a surgical 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 bone graft material to create a stable foundation for dental implants.
Patients typically need a Sinus lift in Coral Gables when bone loss has occurred due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or aging. This procedure allows for successful implant placement in areas that previously lacked sufficient bone.
Why Do You Need a Sinus Lift?
- Bone Loss in the Upper Jaw: Over time, the jawbone naturally resorbs after tooth loss. Without stimulation from tooth roots, the bone becomes too thin or soft for implants.
- Tooth Loss: Missing teeth, especially in the back of the upper jaw, can lead to significant bone shrinkage, making implant placement difficult.
- Periodontal Disease: Gum disease not only affects soft tissues but also leads to bone deterioration, reducing the volume available for implants.
- Maxillary Sinus Anatomy: Some patients naturally have large sinus cavities or thin sinus floors, limiting available bone.
- Dental Implant Preparation: A sinus lift ensures a strong, stable foundation for long-term implant success, reducing the risk of failure.
