Sinus LiftsIn Los Angeles
If you're considering dental implants but have been told you don't have enough upper jaw bone, a sinus lift might be your solution. This specialized procedure gently lifts the sinus membrane to make room for a bone graft. A sinus lift can pave the way for successful implant placement and a fuller, healthier smile.
What is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is essentially a bone-building procedure for your upper jaw. It's used when there isn’t enough natural bone to secure dental implants near your molars and premolars. Your doctor will lift the sinus floor and place bone graft material beneath it. Over time, this graft will integrate with your existing bone, providing the stability needed for implants. Thanks to recent advances in dental techniques, recovery times are quicker than ever, making it easier to heal and enjoy thriving oral health.

The Benefits of Sinus Lifts
Better Implant Outcomes
Sinus lifts significantly increase the success rate of dental implants by providing sufficient bone structure for implant integration. This process ensures your implants are as stable and durable as natural teeth.
Improved Oral Health
By adding bone to the upper jaw, sinus lifts help prevent future bone loss, maintaining both the strength of your jaw and the alignment of your facial structure.
Improves Oral Function
A successful sinus lift can improve your overall oral functionality, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods and a healthier lifestyle. This surgery not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your smile but also contributes to better digestion and speech clarity.
Minimally Invasive Treatment
We specialize in minimally invasive sinus lift procedures, using advanced techniques to maximize results while minimizing discomfort and recovery time. Our approach often allows for smaller incisions, reduced swelling, and faster healing compared to traditional methods.
The Sinus Lift Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a thorough examination where your doctor assesses your oral health and discusses the goals of the procedure. Using advanced imaging techniques, they will plan the sinus lift to ensure optimal results tailored to your specific needs.
The Sinus Lift Procedure
During the surgery, your doctor will make a small incision in the gum tissue where your back teeth used to be. They carefully lift the sinus membrane and place the bone graft material underneath. The area is then stitched up, allowing the bone to integrate with your jaw over the next several months.
Recovery and Follow-up
Post-procedure, you’ll have a series of follow-up visits to monitor the healing process and ensure the graft is integrating properly with your natural bone. Recovery tips, such as avoiding strenuous activity and following a soft diet, will be provided to help you heal quickly and comfortably.
