If you’re missing teeth in the upper back portion of your jaw, you may not have enough bone to support dental implants. Sinus lift surgery is a specialized procedure that adds bone to this area, making implant placement possible. At Dental Implants of Buffalo, we offer advanced sinus lift techniques to help rebuild your jaw and prepare it for long-lasting, stable implants.
This procedure is a safe and effective way to expand your treatment options and restore your smile with confidence.
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a procedure that increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw near the molars and premolars. The maxillary sinuses are located just above this area, and when bone loss occurs, there may not be enough space to securely place implants.
During a sinus lift, the sinus membrane is gently elevated, and bone graft material is placed beneath it. Over time, this material integrates with your natural bone, creating the height and density needed to support dental implants.
