What to Expect with Sinus Lift - Dental Bone Grafting?
Sinus lift treatment procedure can provide you with the best opportunity for a successful dental implant in the upper back region of the jaw. These areas are one of the most difficult areas to place an implant because of low bone Quality and quantity due to its close proximity to the sinus.
During a sinus lift procedure, your maxillary sinus membrane is lifted upwards to make space for additional bone. Then the bone is grafted to the upper jaw at the position of the molar or premolar teeth and sufficient time to heal is given.
Patients who needs a sinus lift?
Our doctors recommend a sinus lift procedure or bone grafting procedure only if you have an inadequate amount of bone. However this situation arises when…
- Previously some Damage has been done to the jaw bone
- Gum Disease has resulted into sever bone loss.
- Tooth Extraction caused your jaw bone to recede (a process known as resorption).
- Removal of cyst or tumor from the area
- Naturally large sinus cavity or thin jaw bone was present

Since more and more people have started opting for dental implants for missing teeth, sinus lifts have become very common. There are three options when it comes to selecting a bone for the sinus lift surgery
- The bone grafting could be from your own body which is called an Autogenous bone.
- The bone grafting could be from a cadaver which is called Allogeneic bone.
- A cow bone can be used which is called a Xenograft.
