What Is Sinus Lifting?
Sinus lifting, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that increases the bone height in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane. This creates additional space to accommodate a bone graft, which helps build up the bone needed for successful dental implant placement.
The maxillary sinuses are located above the upper back teeth, and when teeth in this area are lost or extracted, the bone underneath can begin to deteriorate. Sinus lifting is used to counteract this bone loss and is typically recommended if:
- There is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw due to natural bone loss or long-term tooth loss.
- The maxillary sinus is too close to the jawbone for safe implant placement.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild or add volume to areas of the jawbone that have been weakened or resorbed over time. This process is essential when the bone mass is insufficient to support dental implants. It involves placing bone material, either from your own body or a synthetic source, into the affected area to stimulate new bone growth.
Bone grafting may be recommended in the following situations:
- Significant bone loss due to periodontal disease or trauma.
- Bone deterioration resulting from long-term tooth loss.
- Preparing the jawbone for the successful placement of dental implants.
