Building stronger foundations for implants
A sinus lift improves implant success by adding bone where it is needed most.
Purpose of a Sinus Lift
Creating Space for Implant Success
A sinus lift is recommended when the upper jaw does not have enough bone to support implants. The procedure gently raises the sinus membrane and places bone graft material underneath, creating a stronger foundation. This additional support allows for long-term implant stability, predictability, and treatment success.
How Does a Sinus Lift Procedure Work?
Step-by-Step Sinus Lift Process
A sinus lift is considered a minor surgical procedure. The sinus membrane is carefully lifted, and bone graft material is placed beneath it. Over the healing period, new bone develops, providing the strength required for implants to be securely anchored at a later stage.
-
Local anaesthetic ensures a comfortable procedure
-
New bone develops to support implants
-
Sinus membrane gently lifted with precision
-
Creates lasting foundation for long-term success
-
Biocompatible bone graft material placed beneath
The sinus lift procedure enhances bone volume, creating a stable foundation that supports long-lasting and predictable implant results.
Who Needs a Sinus Lift?
Patient Suitability Explained
Patients missing back teeth in the upper jaw often require a sinus lift before implants. Adequate gum health and bone healing capacity are also important suitability factors.
-
Missing molars or premolars in the upper jaw
-
Insufficient bone density in the upper jawbone
-
Healthy gum condition required for success
-
Need stable support before implant placement
Not all patients are candidates for sinus lifts. A clinical assessment ensures suitability, and alternatives are explained clearly. Results may vary.
Risks and Recovery
What to Expect Afterwards
-
Sinus carefully lifted and graft material placed
-
Healing process begins as bone integrates
-
Regular follow-up reviews to monitor progress
-
Any swelling or discomfort resolves within days
-
Implants placed once the site is stable
Recovery from a sinus lift typically involves mild swelling or discomfort for a few days. Healing occurs over months before implants are placed securely.
Benefits for Implant Candidates
Supporting Long-Term Success
A sinus lift allows implants to be placed in areas of the upper jaw where bone is lacking. By restoring bone volume and density, the procedure improves stability and enhances the long-term survival of implants. It expands treatment possibilities for patients with bone loss, ensuring safer, more predictable outcomes. Regular reviews at Attelia London support a smooth healing process.
