Sinus Lift In Garner, NC

SERVICES
Sinus Lift
If you are missing teeth in the upper jaw and have been told you don’t have enough bone for dental implants, a sinus lift may be necessary. Over time, bone loss in the upper jaw can make it difficult to place implants securely. A sinus lift is a bone grafting procedure that adds bone mass to the upper jaw near the maxillary sinus, creating a stable foundation for implant placement.
At All Star Implants in Garner, NC, we provide sinus lift procedures for patients who want to replace missing teeth with permanent dental implants but need additional bone support. Our skilled team ensures that the treatment process is safe, effective, and tailored to each patient’s needs.

Do I Need a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift is recommended for patients who:

  1. Have insufficient bone height in the upper jaw for dental implants.
  2. Have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, gum disease, or aging.
  3. Have naturally large sinus cavities that interfere with implant placement.
  4. Want to replace missing upper molars or premolars with dental implants.
  5. Need a stronger foundation for implants to ensure long-term success.

If your dentist has advised that you don’t have enough bone support for implants, a sinus lift may be the best solution to restore bone volume and jaw stability.

What is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, is a bone grafting procedure designed to increase bone volume in the upper jaw near the sinuses. This additional bone provides the necessary support for dental implants when the existing bone is too thin or weak.

How Does a Sinus Lift Work?

  1. The sinus membrane is gently lifted to create space for bone graft material.
  2. Bone grafting material is added to the area to stimulate new bone growth.
  3. Over time, the grafted bone fuses with your natural jawbone, creating a strong foundation for implants.

A sinus lift increases bone density, making it possible for patients with bone loss to receive long-lasting, stable dental implants.

Benefits of a Sinus Lift

  1. Creates a Strong Foundation for Implants – A sinus lift adds the necessary bone volume for successful implant placement.
  2. Prevents Implant Failure – Implants can fail over time without proper bone support. A sinus lift ensures long-term stability.
  3. Restores Lost Bone Structure – If you’ve had missing teeth for years, this procedure regenerates bone density where it has been lost.
  4. Improves Facial Aesthetics – Bone grafting prevents the sunken facial appearance caused by bone loss.
  5. Expands Treatment Options – Many patients who were previously not candidates for implants can receive them after a sinus lift.
A sinus lift may be the key step to achieving a healthy, complete smile with dental implants if you have upper jaw bone loss.

Sinus Lift Procedure at All Star Implants

At All Star Implants, we perform sinus lift procedures with precision and care to ensure safe and successful outcomes. The procedure follows these essential steps:

Consultation & Imaging

A comprehensive dental exam, including digital X-rays and 3D scans, is performed to assess your sinus position and bone density. Your dentist will discuss your treatment plan and expectations to ensure the best outcome.

Preparing for the Procedure

Local anesthesia or sedation is administered to keep you comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. A small opening is made in the upper jaw to access the sinus cavity.

Lifting the Sinus Membrane

The sinus membrane is carefully lifted, creating space for bone graft material. This step ensures the sinus remains intact while making room for additional bone volume.

Bone Grafting

The bone grafting material is placed in the newly created space to promote bone regeneration and jaw strengthening.

Healing & Bone Integration

The healing period typically takes 4 to 9 months, during which the grafted bone fuses with your natural jawbone. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress.

Healing & Bone Integration

Once the bone has fully integrated and strengthened, dental implants can be safely placed to restore missing teeth permanently.

At All Star Implants, we ensure a smooth and comfortable experience throughout your sinus lift and implant journey.

FAQ

Healing time varies, but most patients need 4 to 9 months for the bone graft to fully integrate before implants can be placed.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so you won’t feel pain. Some swelling or mild discomfort after the procedure is normal and can be managed with medication.
In some cases, implants can be placed at the same time as the sinus lift. However, most patients require a healing period before implants can be safely placed.
Patients should follow post-operative care instructions, including avoiding smoking, strenuous activities, and excessive pressure on the sinuses during recovery. Your dentist will provide detailed care guidelines.
