Sinus Lift Procedure At Aesthet Clinic

Sinus Lift Procedure at Aesthet Clinic The sinus lift is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the bone structure in the upper jaw to facilitate successful dental implant placement. This procedure is typically required when there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw or when the sinuses are too close to the area where the implants need to be placed. Step-by-Step Process Consultation and Evaluation: Before the procedure, we conduct a thorough examination, including 3D imaging and X-rays, to assess the bone structure and sinus position. This allows us to plan the surgery with precision and ensure the best possible outcome for your implants. Anesthesia: The sinus lift procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the process. Sedation options are also available for those who prefer additional relaxation during the procedure. Surgical Access: We make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the bone of the upper jaw. In some cases, a small opening is made in the bone to access the sinus membrane. This is a delicate step, as we must carefully lift the sinus membrane without damaging it. Bone Grafting: After the sinus membrane is gently lifted, we introduce a bone graft material into the space. This graft material can either be synthetic or derived from your own body. The graft encourages new bone growth, which will eventually integrate with the existing bone in the upper jaw. Healing and Integration: The grafted bone will fuse with the surrounding bone over the next several months, creating a stable foundation for dental implants. This healing period typically lasts between 4 to 9 months, depending on the individual. Implant Placement: Once the bone has adequately healed and integrated, we can proceed with placing dental implants into the newly augmented bone. This provides a strong, lasting foundation for crowns or bridges, allowing you to restore your smile. Benefits of Sinus Lift Enhanced Bone Structure: The sinus lift procedure creates a solid base for dental implants, making it possible to restore missing teeth even in areas with inadequate bone height. Minimally Invasive: While this is a surgical procedure, it is performed with precision and care, minimizing discomfort and reducing recovery time. Long-term Success: A well-executed sinus lift enhances the stability and longevity of dental implants, ensuring a functional and aesthetic result. Recovery and Aftercare After the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling or discomfort, which can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best healing process. Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor progress and ensure that the bone is healing as expected. At Aesthet Clinic, we take pride in offering the highest standard of care to our patients. Our experienced team uses the latest techniques and technologies to ensure a successful outcome, providing you with a strong foundation for long-lasting dental implants and a beautiful smile.
