Sinus Lift Surgery at Pacific Oral Surgery

At Pacific Oral Surgery, we understand that preparing for dental implants in the upper jaw can sometimes require additional procedures to ensure success. One such procedure is a sinus lift, which is designed to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw to support the placement of dental implants.

Benefits of a Sinus Lift

  • Increases Bone Quantity: Provides sufficient bone to support dental implants.
  • Improves Dental Implant Success: Creates a more secure foundation for implants, enhancing their longevity and function.
  • Enhances Oral Health and Aesthetics: Helps maintain facial structure and improves oral function.

The Procedure

1. Initial Consultation

Comprehensive evaluation of your dental and medical history and a detailed examination of your oral anatomy.

2. Preparation

Utilization of advanced imaging techniques to plan the procedure accurately.

    3. Surgical Procedure

    • A small incision is made in the gum tissue where the back teeth once were.
    • The tissue is lifted to expose the bone, and a small opening is made.
    • The sinus membrane is carefully lifted, and bone graft material is inserted into the space.
    • The site is then closed with stitches, allowing the area to heal.

    Recovery and Aftercare

    Recovery from a sinus lift involves specific post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and success of the graft:

    • Avoid Blowing Your Nose: To prevent disruption of the healing process.
    • Avoid Strenuous Activities: To minimize the risk of bleeding and swelling.
    • Pain Management: Medications may be prescribed to manage any discomfort following the procedure.
    • Follow-Up Visits: Scheduled to monitor the healing process and prepare for the next steps if dental implants are planned.
