Strengthen Your Jaw for Dental Implants
If you’re considering dental implants but have insufficient bone in your upper jaw, a sinus augmentation (sinus lift) may be the solution. At Van Orman Dental, we specialize in advanced bone grafting procedures to create the strong foundation needed for successful and long-lasting dental implants.
What is Sinus Augmentation?
Sinus augmentation, also known as a sinus lift, is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. This procedure is necessary when the sinus cavity is too close to the jawbone, or if bone loss has occurred due to missing teeth, gum disease, or natural aging. Sinus augmentation, also known as a sinus lift, is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. It’s often needed when there isn’t enough bone height in the upper jaw to support dental implants, usually due to bone loss or the proximity of the sinus cavity.
Who Needs a Sinus Augmentation?
You may need a sinus augmentation if:
- You are missing upper molars or premolars and want dental implants
- You have insufficient bone height in the upper jaw
- Your sinus cavity is too low, leaving little room for implants
- You have bone loss due to periodontal disease or tooth loss
Our Sinus Augmentation Process
Consultation & Digital Imaging:- Comprehensive 3D imaging to assess bone structure and sinus position. A customized treatment plan based on your jawbone condition.
The Sinus Lift Procedure:- Local anesthesia or sedation for comfort. Gently lifting the sinus membrane to create space. Placing bone graft material to strengthen the jaw.
