SINUS LIFTING
A sinus lift is done when there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw, or the sinuses are too close to the jaw, for dental implants to be placed.
There are holes inside the left and right parts of the upper jaw bone. These holes are enlarged after tooth (or teeth) loss and prevents the implanting under the sinus lines. Because of this reason, these holes must be filled with bone graft. After 6 months this graft turns into the bone material and it is ready for implanting.
Sinus lifting is suitable for the patients with insufficient bone volume in their back teeth in the upper jaw due to the expansion of the maxillary sinus.
This operation takes 15 or 20 minutes with local anaesthesia. Implant(s) can be inserted if there is enough bone volume. This makes the operation 5 minutes more.
