Sinus Lifting (Sinus Augmentation)
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw to allow for successful dental implant placement.
Why is sinus lifting needed?
Insufficient bone height in the upper jaw
Natural sinus expansion after tooth loss
Preparing the area for dental implants
Key advantages:
Makes implant placement possible
Improves implant success rate
Safe and predictable procedure
Sinus lifting, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized surgical procedure used to increase bone height in the upper jaw. It is often necessary when natural bone volume is insufficient for dental implant placement.
During the procedure, the sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed to create a stable foundation for implants. After healing, implants can be placed safely with a high success rate.
Sinus lifting has become a predictable and routine procedure thanks to modern techniques and advanced imaging technology.
Ideal for: Patients requiring upper-jaw implants with limited bone availability.
