Sinus Lift
At Balat Aesthetic, we offer sinus lift surgery for patients who require additional bone in the upper jaw for successful dental implant placement. This procedure enhances bone volume and ensures a stable foundation for long-term implant success.
What is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane. It is commonly performed to:
- Increase bone volume for dental implants in the upper jaw.
- Provide a stable foundation for long-lasting implant placement.
- Prevent complications related to insufficient bone height.
- Improve overall oral health and function.
The Sinus Lift Procedure
- Consultation & Planning: A detailed 3D scan is performed to assess bone structure.
- Sinus Membrane Elevation: The sinus membrane is gently lifted, creating space for new bone.
- Bone Grafting: A bone graft material is placed to encourage natural bone growth.
- Healing Process: Over 4-9 months, the bone integrates and strengthens for implant placement.
