窦提升

What is Sinus Lift?

Sinus lift is a 外科手术 that replaces or enhances areas with low bone volume.

一个 窦举 restores 骨质流失 caused by aging, 牙齿脱落, 或牙龈疾病. This procedure increases the rate of implant success and help you achieve a natural, long-lasting smile with secure dental implants.

If you’re considering implants but might not have enough bone volume, then you might be a good candidate for sinus lift!

How Sinus Lift Work?

During your sinus lift procedure, 我们的口腔外科医生 will carefully raise the sinus membrane through a small surgical opening in the upper jaw.

然后, bone grafting material is placed beneath the sinus to encourage natural bone regeneration.

The surgery is performed under 局部麻醉 and is typically well tolerated by patients under sedation dentistry. Full bone healing can take several months, after which our oral surgeon can place 牙科植入物 with confidence.
