Sinus Lifting

About the Operation

Sinus Lift Surgery is an advanced surgical procedure that becomes necessary when the sinus membrane lining the nasal cavities on either side has silently collapsed downward over the years following posterior tooth extraction in the upper jaw, leaving the implant screw without adequate bone height or base to anchor into. The specialist surgeon gently pushes the inner balloon of the sinus membrane upward through a millimetric window or channel and fills the resulting space with artificial inorganic bone powder (bovine or synthetic membrane powder and graft material), cultivating a new bone ridge.

Application Details

• 1After the procedure, patients experience nasal sensitivity, minor bleeding risk, infection risk, pressure sensations, and must be careful about sneezing reflexes (sinus pressure must be monitored).

Who Is It Suitable For?

• A legitimate miraculous sculpting for patients who lost their upper posterior teeth years ago and whose bone scans and CT images reveal that the underlying jaw bone has thinned to paper — dissolved by the pneumatic pressure of the sinus membrane — but who have been reluctant to pursue implants and are now longing for them.
