Sinus Lift
Sinus lifts are done so that an implant can be placed without perforating the sinus cavity.
In order to place implants in the upper premolar and molar area a lift is sometimes is needed so that the implant can be placed. There are a few ways this can be accomplished.
In some cases when the area only needs a small lift a collagen membrane can be placed in the implant site and bone inserted. As the implant is placed the membrane and bone will lift the sinus cavity and done.
When the above procedure cannot be done because there is not enough bone to get retention a Standard Sinus Lift may be needed first.
This is when the dentist will open a small window in the bone and gums, above the implant site, to expose the sinus cavity. After detaching the sinus from the floor of the bone it is then filled with bone and a membrane is placed and closed up.
