Understanding Sinus Lifts

A sinus lift, also called a sinus augmentation, is a bone grafting procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw between your molars and premolars. When the sinus floor sits too close to the jawbone, there isn’t enough room to securely place a dental implant. Dr. Kwok gently lifts the sinus membrane upward and places bone graft material underneath, giving your jaw the height and density it needs to support implants down the road.

Benefits of Sinus Lift Procedure

1.

Implant Success

A sinus lift creates the bone volume needed for patients who were previously told they couldn’t get upper jaw implants.

2.

Long Term Stability

Restoring bone height gives your future implants a solid, dependable foundation that’s built to last.

3.

Bone Preservation

Adding bone graft material helps prevent further bone loss in the upper jaw over time.

4.

Comfortable Recovery

With modern techniques and Dr. Kwok’s gentle touch, most patients are pleasantly surprised by how smooth the healing process feels.

A sinus lift is one of the most common and well-established bone grafting procedures performed in implant dentistry today.

What to Expect During Sinus Lift Procedure

3D Planning

Dr. Kwok uses advanced CBCT scanning to evaluate your bone structure and create a personalized treatment plan.

Site Preparation

A small opening is made in the gum tissue to access the bone, and the sinus membrane is carefully lifted into position.

Graft Placement

Bone graft material is packed into the space beneath the lifted membrane to encourage new bone growth.

Healing and Aftercare

Your jaw heals over several months as new bone integrates, and Dr. Kwok monitors your progress at each visit.

Who Needs a Sinus Lift?

Not everyone who wants dental implants needs a sinus lift, but it’s more common than you might think. Dr. Kwok will let you know during your consultation if this step is right for you.

  • Insufficient Upper Jaw Bone: Your upper jaw doesn’t have enough height to support an implant securely.
  • Tooth Loss Over Time: You lost upper back teeth a while ago and natural bone resorption has occurred.
  • Naturally Low Sinuses: Your sinus cavities naturally sit closer to the jaw than average.
  • Previous Periodontal Disease: Gum disease has contributed to bone deterioration in the upper jaw area.

Sinus Lifts FAQs

If you have any questions about maxilla sinus lifts, we’ve got answers.

How long does it take to recover from a sinus lift?

Most patients feel back to normal within a few days, though mild swelling is common during the first week. Full bone integration typically takes several months before implants can be placed.

Can a sinus lift and implant be done at the same time?

In some cases, Dr. Kwok can place the implant during the same visit as the sinus lift. This depends on how much existing bone you have and will be determined during your imaging and consultation.

How much does a sinus lift cost?

The cost of a sinus lift varies depending on the complexity of your case and the type of graft material used. Our team will provide a clear estimate during your consultation so there are no you know what to expect.
