What is a Sinus Lift Surgery?
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation or sinus floor elevation, is a specialized dental surgical procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. This procedure is often necessary when there isn’t enough bone height in the upper jaw to support dental implants, or when the sinuses are too close to the jaw.
When Is a Sinus Lift Necessary?
Common Reasons for Sinus Lift Surgery
- Bone Loss Due to Missing Teeth: When teeth have been missing for an extended period
- Periodontal Disease: Resulting in bone deterioration
- Maxillary Sinus Location: Naturally low-lying sinuses
- Implant Preparation: Creating adequate space for dental implants
- Age-Related Bone Loss: Natural bone resorption over time
