Sinus Augmentation Surgery

Patients who require more jawbone density for upper dental implants may require a sinus lift in NYC. The maxillary sinuses, which are located on either side of the nose, are sometimes too close to the upper jawbone or low in jawbone density, which prevents the successful placement of dental implants. Dental implants offer a permanent solution to tooth restoration by securely positioning titanium posts in the jawbone. However, some patients aren’t candidates for dental implants due to poor jawbone density. Without proper jawbone density, the implants would fail to fuse with the bone. At Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center, we offer sinus lift in NYC to raise the sinus membrane, allowing more room for bone grafting material to be placed.

What Is A Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that uses bone grafting technology to prepare the upper jaw for dental implants. For some patients, the maxillary sinuses are too close to the upper jaw, which doesn’t allow room for the placement of dental implants. By repositioning the sinus, Dr. Datson can make enough room to create a stable foundation for dental restoration. Sinus lift surgery can treat bone density loss on the upper jaw. A sinus lift is one of the most commonly performed bone grafting surgeries currently available.

How Does A Sinus Lift Work?

Sinus lift surgery lifts the sinuses to create room for bone grafting material to be placed. The maxillary sinuses sit behind the cheeks and are empty or filled spaces. The natural roots of the teeth often extend into the maxillary cavity, but when a tooth is lost and not replaced, the bone separating the sinus and the mouth thins, making the placement of dental implants unachievable. Sinus lift surgery separates and lifts the sinus membrane to create space for dental bone grafting material. Continuing advancements in oral surgery allow patients to achieve a beautiful, permanent smile, regardless of bone density.

When teeth are lost, our bodies reabsorb the bone that once held them in place. As a result, patients are left with changes in facial structure, difficulty talking, declining oral health, and diminished self-confidence. Although dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth while maintaining jawbone density, patients who have already lost jawbone density may not be candidates. Sinus lift in NYC can restore bone density to the upper jaw, allowing patients to achieve a restored smile.

What Are The Benefits
Of A Sinus Lift?

One of the biggest benefits offered by sinus lift surgery is its ability to restore bone density to the upper jaw. Loss of jawbone density occurs when teeth are lost and not replaced, leading the body to begin absorbing the surrounding bone tissue. Without proper bone density, patients are at risk of facial deformities, functional and aesthetic concerns, and the loosening of the surrounding teeth. By increasing jawbone density, patients can enjoy a secure foundation for permanent dental restoration procedures, such as dental implants.

Sinus lift surgery aids in implants placement. Dental implant surgery permanently replaces teeth using titanium screws that mimic the natural root of the tooth. When implanted in the jawbone and topped with a custom-made crown, dental implants look, feel, and function like real teeth. Dental implants are the most sought-out dental restoration option available. Without proper bone density, dental implants are increasingly hard to place and often lead to failure. Lifting the sinuses promotes jawbone density to allow for the placement of dental implants.

We often take for granted the role our mouth plays in our daily life. A sinus lift can restore the function and appearance of the mouth after bone density has been lost. By restoring jawbone density, patients can enjoy a more defined upper jaw and greater ease performing daily actions.

How Does A Sinus Lift Compare
To Traditional Bone Grafting?

When compared to traditional bone grafting, sinus lift surgery goes one step further. During sinus lift surgery, the sinus membrane is repositioned to create more room for bone grafting and future dental implants. By doing so, sinus lift surgery can create increased bone density that is ideal for permanent dental restoration options. Unlike traditional bone grafts, however, sinus lift surgery can only treat the upper jaw.

Who Is The Ideal Candidate
For A Sinus Lift?

If you are struggling from bone density loss in the upper jaw, sinus lift surgery may be right for you. The ideal candidate for a sinus lift is someone who wishes to undergo dental implant surgery, but may not be a candidate due to insufficient bone density. However, each patient is different and sinus lift surgery may not be right for everyone. During your consultation, our oral surgery team will evaluate your dental history, your scans, and your procedure goals to help determine if a sinus lift in NYC is right for you.

What Should I Expect
During A Sinus Lift?

The details of your sinus lift surgery will depend on the type of bone graft you have opted for, as well as the extent of your bone loss. The specifics of the procedure will vary for each patient. Generally, a sinus lift is performed under anesthesia to maintain patient comfort throughout the entire procedure. The first part of the procedure involves lifting and repositioning the sinus membrane. By doing so, there is more room to perform bone grafting and create stable jawbone density.

Once the sinus is lifted, the bone grafting portion of the procedure will begin. Bone grafting material will be placed into the treatment area. Over a period of time after the procedure, the harvested jawbone will fuse with the natural jawbone, a process called osseointegration. This can take anywhere from 3-5 months. After this occurs, patients can return for permanent dental restoration procedures.

What Should I Expect After
A Sinus Lift In NYC?

After undergoing sinus lift surgery in NYC, patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling. However, these symptoms are normal and should subside as the treatment area continues to heal. It is recommended that patients take time to rest and recover after the procedure. Patients should refrain from any vigorous activity and avoid heavy lifting. Before sending you home, our oral surgery team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Patients should follow these instructions with care to minimize their recovery and maximize their results. If patients have any questions throughout their recovery, they are encouraged to call our office. Our friendly staff is on hand to answer any questions you may have during this time.
