Sinus Graft
At DENTL in East Melbourne, we’re all about creating smiles that are built to last. But what if your upper jaw needs a little help? That’s where a sinus graft, or sinus lift, comes into play.
This procedure is all about giving your upper jaw the extra bone it needs to securely hold dental implants, setting the stage for a smile that’s as strong as it is stunning.
What Is a Sinus Graft?
Picture this: Your upper jaw is ready for dental implants, but there’s just one catch—not enough bone to support them. That’s where a sinus graft steps in. By gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material into the space, we create a sturdy foundation for your implants.
It’s like adding a new layer of support to your upper jaw, ensuring that your implants have the strength they need to stay secure for years to come.
Benefits of a Sinus Graft
The Perks of a Lifted Jaw:
- Perfect for Implants: Without enough bone, dental implants can be a challenge in the upper jaw. A sinus graft creates the bone height you need, making implants possible where they weren’t before.
- Prevents Sinus Issues: By lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone, we keep the sinus cavity from encroaching on the space needed for implants, reducing the risk of complications.
- Restores Lost Bone: Whether due to missing teeth or natural ageing, bone loss happens. A sinus graft restores that lost bone, giving your jaw the volume it needs.
- Boosts Implant Success: The stronger the jawbone, the better the chance of implant success. A sinus graft gives your implants the solid foundation they need to thrive.
When your upper jaw needs a boost, a sinus graft offers the perfect solution.
The Step-by-Step Process
Lifting Your Smile, One Step at a Time
1.
Consultation and Assessment: We begin with a detailed consultation, using advanced imaging to assess your jawbone and sinus area. This helps us plan the procedure with precision, ensuring everything goes smoothly.
2.
Preparing the Sinus Area: On the day of your procedure, we’ll first administer the suitable form of sedation to help you relax before the procedure. Then, we make a small incision in your gum tissue to expose the bone, then create an opening to access the sinus cavity.
3.
Lifting the Sinus Membrane: With careful precision, we lift the sinus membrane, creating space for the bone graft material. This step is delicate, but our expertise ensures it’s done with the utmost care.
4.
Placing the Bone Graft: Next, we place the bone graft material into the newly created space. Whether it’s bone from your own body, donor bone, or a synthetic option, we choose the material that best suits your needs.
5.
Healing and Integration: After the graft is in place, your body begins the process of integrating the new bone. This can take several months, but it’s a crucial step in ensuring your implants have the support they need.
From start to finish, we’re with you every step of the way, making sure your jaw is ready to support your new smile.
Who Is a Sinus Graft Best Suited For?
You might need a sinus graft if:
