Sinus Lift in Worcester, MA

At Worcester Periodontics, we offer the sinus lift in Worcester, MA, to help patients who have experienced bone loss in their upper jaw and need dental implants. Over time, the bone in the upper jaw may shrink after tooth loss, leading to expansion of the sinus cavity. A sinus augmentation is required to restore adequate bone for secure implant placement, allowing patients to receive multiple dental implants with long-lasting results.

What to Expect During a Sinus Lift

The sinus augmentation surgery involves gently raising the sinus cavity and adding a bone graft beneath it. There are different approaches, including lateral sinus augmentation, depending on how much bone is still present. Before the procedure begins, local anesthesia is administered for your comfort. The surgeon creates a small opening in the upper jaw bone to access the sinus cavity, then carefully lifts the sinus to its original position. A sinus augmentation bone graft is then placed beneath the sinus, which will integrate with your natural bone over time, creating a stable foundation for future dental implants.

Recovery After Sinus Augmentation

After your sinus lift for implant placement, the bone graft typically takes about 4 to 9 months to integrate and heal fully. This healing process is crucial for ensuring the stability of your dental implants. Once healed, the newly added bone will provide the necessary support to accommodate implants. Without this procedure, a Lack of sufficient bone in the upper jaw can preclude many patients from receiving implants.
