Sinus Augmentation
Sinus Augmentation is a surgical procedure that adds bones in the upper jaws near the molars and premolars. It helps to make room for the bones so that they can grow. Surgeons or periodontists lift the sinus of the nose. This procedure is needed when your sinus is quite close to your jaws, or there are not enough bones for placing the implants. It is a preparative procedure before placing your dental implants.
When do you need it?
Not everyone with molar and premolar teeth implants would need to go through this procedure. If you do not have enough jawbones or when your sinuses are very close to your jaws, which creates issues while placing implants, you might need to go through this procedure. Some of the reasons behind this would include:
- The anatomy of your skull is like this
- Due to periodontal diseases, bone loss has occurred
- If you have missing teeth for a long time, then the bone loss can occur
- There has been bone loss due to calcium deficiency

The surgery
The bone used to do a sinus lift comes from your own body- any area of your mouth or body like hips or tibia. In case that is not possible, then a synthetic material is used, which is efficient and safe. Your surgeon would cut the gum tissues exposing the bones. There is a membrane lining the sinus, which is pushed up and away from your jaws. Granules of bone graft materials are now placed in the open space to fill up.

We would prescribe the right medications, food, and rest for you so that your wounds can heal properly.
