Sinus lifts are a common form of dental surgery carried out at David Madruga<\/strong> by oral surgeons or periodontists in order to provide a sufficient amount of bone under the upper jaw (maxillary sinus) for it to be possible for an implant to be fitted in. Sinus lifts Marylebone<\/a> are recommended by your dentist if you do not have enough jawbone for an implant to be secured in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are sinus lifts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinus lifts Marylebone<\/strong> refers to lifting up the upper jaw (also known as the maxillary\nsinus) in order to make space for new bone that is grafted from either another\npart of your body or using a synthetic bone material. The maxillary sinuses are cavities filled with\nair, located above the upper jaw. If you do not have a sufficient amount\nof upper jawbone, your dentist will be unable to anchor an implant properly\nmaking it difficult for the implant to function correctly and perform actions\nsuch as chewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What causes bone loss?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many possible reasons as to why\nyou might experience loss of bone in the jaw including defects from birth,\ncancer and advanced periodontal disease. In the case of periodontal disease,\nyour jawbone may have thinned down over time due to not being stimulated by the\npresence of a tooth; this is often seen in the case of tooth loss. Sinus lifts Marylebone<\/strong> are recommended by our dentist if you\npresent less than 4-6 millimetres of bone in the back portion of your jaw and\nwill be carried out prior to going ahead with an implant. Your dentist can\ndetermine whether you require a sinus lift when carrying out imaging studies\nsuch as X-rays as part of your implant process. If they identify that you do\nnot have sufficient bone, they will carry out the sinus lift and then proceed\nwith the implant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several different methods of\nsinus lift surgery, each dependent on how much bone you have in your jaw during\nyour consultation. Usually, a sinus lift procedure begins with your oral\nsurgeon giving you an oral or intravenous sedative, or a local anaesthetic to\nnumb the area that is going to be treated. Once the area is numb, the surgeon\nwill make incisions in the back part of your gum tissue to expose the bone and\ncut a small area of it, taking extra precautions to not cut through any sinus\nmembranes. The oral surgeon then lifts the cut portion of the bone up into the\nsinus thus raising the sinus membrane. Bone graft is then inserted in the newly\nlifted area which is taken from a different part of your body or using a\nsynthetic bone material and your surgeon will then apply stitches to close the\nincisions they have made on your gum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your sinus lift surgery is successful, your oral surgeon will prescribe you a course of antibiotics to prevent the occurrence of any infections. It is also recommended that you avoid blowing your nose too much as this can affect the placement of the bone graft. It is also important to avoid brushing your teeth for a period of time to not cause any bleeding. If you require, you can take over-the-counter painkillers to relieve any discomfort post-surgery. Finally, it is highly important to avoid smoking after the surgery which can impair the healing time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
