Sinus Lift Surgery

At The Urban Dentist, sinus lift procedures are frequently recommended for patients seeking dental implants in the upper jaw. This surgical intervention is essential to address bone loss, a natural consequence of tooth loss, which can compromise the stability and success of dental implants.

The sinus lift procedure involves making a small incision in the gum tissue to access the bone and sinus cavity. The sinus membrane is lifted, and a bone grafting material is placed beneath it to promote new bone growth. This process enhances bone density and volume. Patients typically need 4 to 9 months to heal before dental implants can be placed, allowing for adequate bone regeneration and integration of the grafting material. After full healing, dental implants can be safely inserted.

By undergoing a sinus lift at The Urban Dentist, patients can restore not only their oral function but also their confidence in their smile, improving their overall quality of life.
