Sinus Lift

The Sinus Lift is a specialized oral surgery procedure that becomes necessary when there is insufficient bone height in the posterior maxilla for a Dental Implant is available.

There the maxillary sinus (sinus maxillaris) lies closely above the jawbone. If due to tooth loss or Periodontitis Bone is lost, and the substance is often no longer sufficient for an implant.

A sinus lift is performed to elevate the maxillary sinus and strengthen the underlying jawbone by inserting bone material. This creates the foundation for a stable bone structure and a long-term successful Implant treatment.

When is a sinus lift necessary? Application in upper jaw bone augmentation

The Sinus Lift is usually performed under local anesthesia. In our Dental practice in Berlin-Friedrichshain we also offer the Nitrous oxide sedation for a relaxed procedure.

The procedure can be performed as an internal or external sinus lift, depending on the extent of the required Bone augmentation. During an external sinus lift, the maxillary sinus is carefully elevated via a lateral approach.

Into the newly created space we fill bone material (autologous, synthetic, or animal-derived). After that, the bone needs a few months to become stable before the Dental Implant can be set.

In the case of smaller deficits, the sinus lift can also be performed via the drill hole of the implant, simultaneously with the Implantation, be carried out.

The sinus lift makes stable implants possible even in areas with severely reduced bone volume and is thus a decisive factor for long-term success. Implant treatment.
