Benefits of having a sinus lift
Foundation
By gently lifting the sinus membrane and adding supportive bone, it builds a solid, secure base in your upper jaw to successfully anchor your dental implants.
Safety
Performed using advanced 3D imaging and meticulous surgical techniques, the procedure protects your delicate sinus tissues while ensuring you are in safe, experienced hands.
Possibility
It allows you to get permanent upper dental implants even if you were previously told you didn't have enough natural bone height.
Longevity
Rebuilding and reinforcing your jaw structure creates a strong, stable place designed to support long-lasting dental implants for years to come.
What happens during a sinus lift?
The sinus has a thin lining. During a sinus lift, this lining is carefully raised, and bone grafting material is placed underneath it, allowing new bone to form in the area.
There are different ways of carrying out a sinus lift. Dr Negahban will decide which approach is most suitable depending on how much bone is available and the shape of the sinus, which can be assessed using a 3D scan (CBCT). Using his vast knowledge and experience, he will create a tailored treatment plan for your personal requirements.
Sinus lift treatment with Dr Pedram Negahban – (GDC 82959)
Sinus lift and sinus grafting procedures at Implant & Perio Clinic are carried out by Dr Pedram Negahban DDS (Germany), DipImpDent RCS (Eng.), AssocFCGDent.
Pedram has a particular interest in implant dentistry and more complex implant treatment, including bone grafting and sinus lift procedures.
His approach is to first establish where the implant should ideally be placed and then assess whether there is enough bone to support it. A sinus lift is recommended only when it is needed as part of that treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, many upper implants can be placed without one. A sinus lift is only recommended when there isn’t enough bone in the area to support the implant being planned.
In some cases, the sinus lift and dental implant can be carried out at the same appointment. In others, it is better to allow the bone graft to heal before placing the implant. Dr Negahban will advise which approach is appropriate after examining the area and reviewing the 3D scan.
Some swelling, tenderness and bruising are normal after a sinus lift, particularly during the first few days. We will provide you with clear instructions about looking after the area while it heals and will see you for a review appointment to make sure everything is healing as expected.
The area is numbed during treatment so that you are comfortable. Some swelling and tenderness afterwards are normal, and clear postoperative instructions are provided to help during the healing period.
Healing time varies depending on the type and extent of the graft and whether the implant is placed at the same time. Dr Negahban will explain the expected timeline for your specific treatment, as each case is different.
Sinus lift surgery is a well-established procedure in implant dentistry. As with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, which Dr Negahban will discuss with you before the treatment. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions during your consultation.
