Sinus Lift Services in Toluca Lake-North Hollywood and Surrounding Areas
A key factor in the success of implant dentistry is the quantity and quality of the bone available for implant placement. However, the upper back jaw has traditionally posed challenges in this regard due to insufficient bone quantity and quality, as well as its close proximity to the sinus cavity. If you have experienced bone loss in this area, whether due to periodontal disease or tooth loss, you may find yourself lacking the necessary bone structure for implant placement. Dr. Shahrad Shawn Shahrooz and our skilled oral surgery team are here to help. Through a specialized procedure called sinus augmentation or sinus lift, we can address this issue by raising the sinus floor and developing new bone, paving the way for successful dental implant placement.
Sinus Lift Procedure
During the procedure, our skilled surgeon accesses the sinus cavity through a small incision in the gum tissue. The sinus membrane is gently lifted, and a bone grafting material is placed in the space created between the sinus floor and the upper jawbone. This bone grafting material stimulates new bone growth, enhancing the volume and quality of the existing bone.
Advantages of Sinus Lift
The benefits of a sinus lift are numerous. Firstly, it allows for the placement of dental implants, even in cases where there is insufficient bone quantity. By developing a strong foundation, implants can be securely anchored, providing long-term stability and support for prosthetic teeth. Additionally, a sinus lift procedure helps restore facial structure, promotes better oral function, and enhances overall aesthetics.
