Sinus Lift at clinics and hospitals worldwide

Sinus Lift abroad

A sinus lift is required when teeth have been removed and dental implants are needed. When surrounding bone of the upper jaw is insufficient to hold the implants, sinus lift surgery adds bone to the area in order to reinforce it. To allow sufficient space for this, the sinus membrane on either side of the nose must be ‘lifted’.

Much like the foundations of a house, dental implants need a strong and sturdy base to maintain stability. If the foundation is not in place, the dental implants cannot be fitted. There are many reasons why there may be insufficient bone to support a dental implant: Periodontal disease, Impact trauma, Proximity of maxillary sinus to the upper jaw, Disintegration of bone due to tooth loss and Tooth Extraction are the most usual reasons.

The first step before a sinus lift is to take an X-Ray or Computed Tomography (CT) scan. With this, the dentist can examine the overall health and composition of the jaw and sinus. Generally, bone is taken from the patient’s own body, either from hip and tibia or sometimes from within the mouth itself. This is known as autogenous bone. In some cases, bone is taken from a donor or animal, if the patient’s own bone is not suitable.
