Sinus Lift

If you’re a candidate for dental implants but your maxillary sinuses are located too closely to your upper jaw bone, a procedure called a sinus lift can be performed to create enough space in the jaw for the placement of dental implants.

A sinus lift is a simple surgical procedure performed on patients whose sinus cavities are too close to the jaw bone for the successful placement of implants. In order for the dental implants to be placed, Dr. Sadineni will gently lift the sinuses away from the upper jawbone.

Once there is an adequate amount of space between the maxillary sinuses and the jaw, grafts of bone may be used and dental implants can be placed. Over time, the bone grafts are absorbed by the jaw, contributing to the formation of new bone cells. The grafts convert to new, living bone cells, replacing the bone loss caused by missing teeth or periodontal disease.
