If you’re\nconsidering dental implants, our dentist will first evaluate whether you have\nenough bone tissue in your jaw to support the implant. If not, they may\nrecommend sinus\nlifts Marylebone<\/a> or another type of bone grafting surgery. Here’s what you\nneed to know about these procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This lift is a common type of bone augmentation, carried out in preparation for the treatment. It is performed to raise the sinus floor and allow for new bone growth in the upper jaw, particularly in the back where it meets the cheekbone. This extra bone helps support dental implants placed in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why have a sinus lift?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two main reasons why our dentist David Madruga<\/strong> could advise someone they\nneed sinus lifts Marylebone<\/strong>. Either they have had\nteeth missing in their upper jaw for some time or they have been diagnosed with\ninsufficient bone density in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sinuses are located just above the upper teeth, and when\nthese teeth are missing, the sinuses can expand into that empty space. This can\ncause problems down the road if you ever decide to get dental implants, because\nthere may not be enough bone left to support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we perform them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a minor surgical procedure that’s usually performed\nunder local anaesthesia in our surgery. First, we make an incision in the gum\ntissue and then gently push it aside to expose the bone underneath. Next, we\ncreate a small window into the sinus cavity itself. Once we have access to the\nsinus cavity, we carefully lift up the sinus membrane and place graft material\nbeneath it. The graft material helps encourage new bone growth in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we confirm the graft has fused, the next stage of\nimplantation can begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re considering dental implants, be sure to ask our\ndentist about lifts and whether you may need one in order to support the\nplacement of your implant. With this preparation treatment, we can help you\nachieve the smile of your dreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do sinus lifts hurt?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people report feeling pressure during the procedure, but\nvery little if any pain. You may experience some mild soreness and swelling\nafter the surgery, but this can be easily managed with over-the-counter\nmedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any concerns or questions about sinus lifts Marylebone<\/strong> or dental implants in general, please\ndon’t hesitate to contact our office. We would be happy to support anxious\npatients who may be extremely apprehensive about receiving the treatment. We\nare committed to providing dental care in the most comfortable and convenient\nmanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinus lifts are a common and relatively straightforward way to\nprepare your jaw for dental implants, so don’t let fear of the unknown keep you\nfrom getting the treatment you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the success rate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success rate for this kind of treatment is high, with most\npatients achieving successful results from the surgery. However, as with any\ntype of medical procedure, there is always a risk of complications. Be sure to\nspeak with our dentist about the risks involved before deciding whether or not\nto proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand that choosing to undergo surgery can be a big\ndecision, but we’re here to support you every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
