Sinus elevation is a procedure indicated when there is insufficient bone height in the posterior area of the upper jaw to safely place dental implants.
In these cases, We carefully lift the sinus membrane and add the necessary graft material to promote the formation of new bone. This treatment allows the rehabilitation of areas where, otherwise, the placement of implants would not be viable or would not offer sufficient stability.
Depending on the amount of bone available, In some patients, the implant can be placed during the same procedure. And in others, it is preferable to perform the regeneration first and wait for the maturation time before placing the implants.
At Sonrisol Dental Clinic We plan each breast lift individually. to choose the most appropriate technique depending on the case.
Often there is enough bone to keep the implant stable at the time of placement, but not enough to place the entire implant in the bone (for example, the available bone between the base of the sinus and the roof of the mouth is 4mm and 6mm implant should be placed). In cases like this, Implants and sinus lift by sinus bone graft can be completed as a single procedure.
If the available bone is not enough to keep the implant stable at the time of placement, A sinus lift procedure is required first. The graft will have to mature for several months, depending on the type of graft material used, then implants can be placed in the new bone.
Breast grafting allows many patients to have dental implants when years ago there was no other option besides wearing dentures.
Sinus elevation is performed at the Sonrisol Dental Clinic in Torremolinos by Dr. Badí Haddú, under local anesthesia or under intravenous sedation.
