At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, our dentist and team perform sinus lift procedures to create a strong foundation for dental implants in the upper jaw. This treatment is necessary when there is not enough bone height in the posterior maxilla due to bone loss or the proximity of the sinus cavity. A sinus lift increases bone volume by elevating the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material beneath it.
Sinus augmentation is a specialized procedure in periodontics that plays a crucial role in the long-term success of upper jaw implant placement. Our team uses advanced techniques and diagnostic imaging to perform this treatment with precision, predictability and patient comfort in mind.
What to Expect During a Sinus Lift
Before the procedure, our dentist will conduct a thorough clinical evaluation, including 3D imaging using cone beam technology. This allows us to assess the anatomy of the sinus, measure bone volume and determine the most appropriate grafting method.
The procedure involves creating a small opening in the bone near the sinus cavity. Through this opening, the sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed into the space. This added volume encourages new bone growth and creates a stable base for future dental implants.
Patients typically experience mild swelling or pressure for a few days after the procedure. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing. Bone integration generally takes several months, after which the area is ready for implant placement.
Rebuilding Bone for Lasting Stability
Sinus lifts are performed when the natural bone is insufficient to support implants securely. This can occur due to long-term tooth loss, bone resorption or anatomical variation. By restoring the bone in the upper jaw, sinus lift surgery makes it possible for more patients to benefit from implant-supported restorations. Our dentist and team are trained in advanced periodontal procedures and use sterile, biocompatible materials to ensure safety and integration. Each treatment plan is developed based on your individual needs and goals.
