Sinus
Lift

Why is a Sinus Lift Necessary?

A sinus lift may be necessary for patients who:

• Have experienced bone loss in the upper jaw due to periodontal disease or tooth loss.
• Have insufficient bone height in the upper jaw to support dental implants.
• Have a sinus cavity that is too close to the jawbone, making implant placement challenging.

This procedure is essential for restoring bone volume, allowing for the successful placement of dental implants and the restoration of oral function and aesthetics.

Our Approach at Dentist of Aventura

At Dentist of Aventura, we utilize FDA-approved donor bone grafting materials to augment the jawbone. This method is particularly beneficial as it promotes better integration and reduces the risk of complications.

Our clinic is equipped with the latest dental technology, ensuring precision and efficiency in every procedure. Our team of professionals is highly trained in performing all types of sinus lift procedures, including:

• Lateral Window Technique: Involves creating a small window in the side of the sinus to access and lift the sinus membrane.
• Crestal Approach: Utilizes the existing bone ridge to access the sinus, minimizing the need for incisions.

Not every dental practice offers these advanced techniques, but at Dentist of Aventura, we are committed to providing comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s needs.

Post-Sinus Lift Healing Process

After the sinus lift procedure, the healing process typically involves:

• First Week: Expect some swelling, discomfort, and possible bruising around the surgical area.
• First Month: Swelling should subside, and discomfort should decrease.
• 3 to 6 Months: The bone graft integrates with your natural bone, a process known as osseointegration.

During this period, it’s crucial to follow your dentist’s post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
