A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. It is needed when there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw or the sinuses are too close to the jaw for dental implants to be placed.
Benefits of a Sinus Lift:
- Increased Bone Volume:
- Provides additional bone height necessary for the successful placement of dental implants.
- Enhanced Implant Stability:
- Ensures implants have enough support, leading to better integration and longevity.
- Wider Treatment Options:
- Makes it possible to receive dental implants even if there was previously insufficient bone.
