Open Sinus Lifting

Open Sinus Lifting is a surgical procedure that increases bone volume in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane, allowing for successful dental implant placement in areas with insufficient bone.

What Is The Open Sinus Lifting?

Open sinus lifting is a surgical procedure designed to increase bone height in the upper jaw, specifically in the molar and premolar regions, by gently lifting the sinus membrane. Bone graft material is then added to the area to create a stable foundation for dental implants. This treatment is commonly used when there is insufficient bone density in the upper jaw due to bone loss, making it an essential step for patients seeking implants in this region.

The Benefits Of Open Sinus Lifting

Increases Bone Volume: Provides additional bone height in the upper jaw for secure implant placement. Improves Implant Success: Creates a strong foundation, enhancing the stability and longevity of dental implants. Restores Functionality: Enables implants in areas with significant bone loss, improving chewing and speaking ability. Prevents Sinus Damage: Protects the sinus cavity by safely lifting the membrane during the procedure. Enhances Aesthetics: Supports natural-looking implants, restoring the appearance of a full, healthy smile. Customizable Procedure: Adaptable to individual patient needs and varying levels of bone loss.

My experience with WestDent dental so far has been nothing short of remarkable. My coordinator organized my travel from the time I arrived, to my appointments, to the time I departed. I have 2 upcoming sessions later this year so I’m at ease knowing everything will work out fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Open sinus lifting, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the bone height in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane and placing a bone graft. This procedure is commonly performed to prepare the area for dental implants, especially in the posterior (back) regions of the upper jaw.
This procedure is necessary when the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone to support dental implants, particularly in the molar or premolar areas. Factors such as bone loss due to tooth extraction, periodontal disease, or congenital conditions can lead to inadequate bone volume, making sinus lifting essential for successful implant placement.
The open sinus lifting procedure can often be completed in one day. The duration typically ranges from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and the amount of bone grafting required.
Healing from a sinus lift procedure can take approximately 4 to 9 months before dental implants can be placed. This healing period allows the bone graft to integrate with the existing bone, providing a stable foundation for implants. The exact duration may vary based on individual healing responses and the extent of the grafting performed.
Yes, when performed by experienced dental professionals, the sinus lifting procedure is considered safe, and the risk of complications is low. As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, but these are generally minimal and can be managed effectively. It’s important to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing and minimize risks.
