When the upper jaw lacks the bone density needed for dental implants, a specialized grafting procedure can create the necessary support. A sinus augmentation enhances bone volume in the back of the upper jaw, ensuring a stable foundation for long-term tooth replacement.
At Doroba Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center, we perform both vertical and lateral sinus lifts, so we can customize each procedure to your unique needs.
Types of Sinus Augmentation
There are two types of sinus lifts. With his expertise, Dr. Doroba will determine which one is right for you. Many dentists perform only the simpler vertical lift. With his advanced surgical skills, Dr. Doroba performs both types:
- Vertical Sinus Lift – This is used when only a small increase in bone height is needed. This technique involves lifting the sinus membrane through the implant site and placing bone material beneath it, creating space for future implants.
- Lateral Sinus Lift – This treatment is recommended for cases with more significant bone loss. This method involves accessing the sinus wall from the side, gently elevating the membrane, and adding grafting material to increase bone thickness.
For maximum comfort, you have access to sedation and anesthesia options, including IV sedation and general anesthesia. This will allow you to remain relaxed throughout your procedure.
