Considering Dental Implants - A Sinus Lift Can Help!

If you have one or more missing teeth and you have postponed the visit to the dentist for years, most likely the jaw bone has resorbed. The good news is that you do not have to think about prostheses, you can enjoy a completely new tooth, a beautiful smile and a correct mastication with the help of dental implants.
In patients with insufficient bone volume of the upper jaw,
the solution is the sinus lift procedure, i.e. lifting the membrane of the
maxillary sinus, to make room for bone grafting. Due to this bone addition, the
implant has a stable base and is properly supported. Be sure to set appointments with your dentist at https://coloradosedation.comto get a good start from this happening in the first place.
What does sinus lifting mean?
It is a bone addition surgery for the upper jaw, in the area of the molars and premolars, if one or more teeth in this area are missing. As a result of tooth loss, the patient no longer has enough bone for the dental implant (the artificial root of the future tooth) to be properly inserted and supported.
Therefore, a bone graft is added for the upper jaw, more precisely under the maxillary sinuses. The surgeon uses the sinus membrane to subsequently insert the implant:
·the sinus membrane is raised and a space is obtained
·the bone is added to the resulting cavity
·the implant thus gains adequate support due to the bone support obtained by the sinus lift procedure.
