Sinus lift Periodontal treatment
A sinus lift raises the membrane of the maxillary sinus and places bone graft beneath it, adding height to the upper back jaw so implants can be placed. It is done through the side of the jaw (lateral window) or through the implant site (crestal approach).
When is a sinus lift needed?
The sinus sits just above the upper back teeth. After tooth loss, the sinus expands and the ridge shrinks, leaving too little bone for an implant. A 3D scan measures the height. Small deficits are often treated with a crestal lift at the time of the implant.
What is recovery like?
Expect swelling and mild nosebleed for a few days. Sneeze with the mouth open, do not blow the nose, avoid straws and do not smoke. Take prescribed medications as directed.
Questions
Can implants go in the same day as a sinus lift?
With enough starting bone, yes. With very little bone, the graft heals first.
