Sinus graft (100% success rate over 2,000 cases)
Sinus grafting, also known as sinus lift or augmentation, is a surgical procedure that increases bone volume in the upper jaw to facilitate dental implant placement, particularly in areas where the sinus cavity encroaches on the bone.
Why Sinus Grafting is Necessary:
• The upper jawbone (maxilla) naturally has less bone than the lower jaw.
• When teeth are lost, the bone in that area can thin and the sinus cavity (which is an air-filled space above the upper teeth) can expand, reducing the amount of bone available for implants.
• Sinus grafting addresses this by adding bone to the area, creating a stable foundation for dental implants.
• The procedure involves lifting the sinus membrane (the lining of the sinus cavity) and placing bone graft material in the space created.
• The bone graft material can be from your own body (autograft), from a donor (allograft), or a synthetic material.
• After the bone graft heals and integrates with the existing bone, dental implants can be placed.
Benefits of Sinus Grafting:
• Allows for successful dental implant placement in areas with insufficient bone.
• Provides a stable foundation for implants, leading to a more functional and durable smile.
• Important Considerations:
• Healing time after sinus grafting can vary depending on the type of graft material used.
