sinus lift

For those with missing teeth, dental implants are a great solution to restore your smile. However, sometimes missing teeth in the upper arch can lead to collapsed sinuses, which are unable to support dental implants  or other dental restorations. When this happens, a dentist or oral surgeon may suggest a sinus lift procedure, which can provide the necessary support for implants to be placed in the upper jaw. At DC Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer sinus lifts for our patients as a way to help them reach their ultimate smile goals.

The Purpose of Sinus Lifts

upper arch teeth support in Washington, DC

A sinus lift essentially does two things: it rebuilds the bone in the upper jaw so that dental implants can be placed, and it prevents future collapse of the sinus. This procedure is often considered to be a permanent solution for patients who have had teeth extracted from their upper jaw.

What To Expect With a Sinus Lift

If you are considering a sinus lift, it is important to be aware of what the procedure entails and what you can expect during your recovery. The process of getting a sinus lift includes the following:

An initial consultation with your dentist or oral surgeon to discuss your treatment options 

A surgical procedure to place bone graft material in the upper jaw 

A recovery period of several weeks to allow for healing

A follow-up visit with your dentist or oral surgeon to check on your progress

Aftercare following a sinus lift is important to ensure proper healing. During your recovery, you will likely need to take pain medication and antibiotics. You should also avoid smoking and drinking through a straw, as these can cause complications. It is also important to eat soft foods and avoid strenuous activity. 

Are Sinus Lifts Painful?

Sinus lifts are usually done under local anesthesia, so you should not experience any pain during the procedure. However, you may experience some discomfort and swelling during your recovery. Your dentist or oral surgeon can prescribe pain medication to help you manage any discomfort.
