What is a sinus lift?
A sinus lift is an oral surgery procedure that creates a foundation for dental implants in the upper jaw. If there isn’t enough bone in your upper jaw to support an implant, often due to bone loss, a sinus lift can help.
During the procedure, the Denta Smiles team lifts your sinus membrane — your sinus cavity’s thin lining — and adds bone graft material into the space.
That encourages new bone growth, providing a stable foundation for dental implants.
Who might need a sinus lift?
You might need a sinus lift to address:
- Insufficient bone density in the upper jaw
- Bone loss due to deterioration in the sinus cavity
- Severe bone atrophy
- More stability for dental implants
The Denta Smiles team uses state-of-the-art technology, including cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, to determine whether you might benefit from a sinus lift.
How do I prepare for a sinus lift?
Preparing for a sinus lift is crucial to promoting a smooth procedure and successful outcome.
During your consultation with the dental team, you discuss the details of the surgery, including what to expect and how to prepare. The team reviews your medical history, conducts a thorough exam, and takes X-rays or scans to assess your sinus and bone structure.
Follow your dentist’s instructions for preparation, which may include avoiding certain medications or adjusting your diet. Arrange for someone to drive you to and from the appointment because you may feel drowsy afterward. Discuss any concerns or questions you have about the procedure with our team to feel more confident and prepared.
What is recovery like after a sinus lift?
Right after the procedure, you may experience some swelling and discomfort. This is normal. The dental team provides pain management options and recommends over-the-counter (OTC) medications to keep you comfortable after your visit.
Rest and avoid strenuous activities to help your body heal during the initial recovery period. Stick to a soft-food diet to avoid irritating the surgical area. The team may also advise you to avoid blowing your nose or sneezing forcefully to prevent problems with healing.
Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure everything is healing correctly.
