Sinus Lifts in Houston, TX
If you’ve decided to receive a dental implant and found out that your sinuses need greater bone support, you may need a sinus lift surgery. Lava Dental provides sinus lifts in Houston, TX, and we’ve put together all the information you need about this oral surgery.
What is Sinus Lift?
A bone grafting operation on the upper jawbone is called a sinus lift or augmentation. By elevating or raising the sinus membrane, a sinus lift surgery allows bone grafting material to be inserted into the jawbone. Bone grafting increases the bone density of the maxillary sinus, enabling dental implant placement in the upper jaw.
A sinus lift could be necessary to reconstruct the jawbone if you have suffered significant bone loss, but still hope to get a dental implant. One of our dentists will increase the bone density between the maxillary sinuses and the jaw for the dental implant to cling securely to your upper jaw.
Who Needs A Sinus Lift?
You may require a sinus lift before having dental implant surgery because of significant bone loss in the upper jaw. The jawbone law can be the result of the following:
- Tumors or cysts: These might damage the jawbones and gums.
- Gum disease: Severe gum disease has the potential to spread to the jaw and infect it.
- Empty gaps in the mouth: Your jawbone will weaken if you don’t replace missing teeth because the body will reabsorb the bone where there is a missing tooth.
A sinus lift may also be necessary for physiological characteristics such as a small jawbone, a large sinus, and the proximity of neighboring tooth roots.
Benefits of Sinus Lift?
The following are some of the benefits of sinus lift for dental health:
- Successful dental implants are made possible by sinus lift, which stabilizes and strengthens the upper jawbone.
- It improves your oral abilities in speaking and eating.
- Sinus lift helps restore the natural structure of your face and keeps it from drooping.
- It boosts the implant’s and the surrounding bone’s long-term stability.
