Sinus Lift
in San Antonio, TX

Enhancing the Foundation for Dental Implants

Many individuals will need a tooth replacement, such as a dental implant, at one point in their life. Prior to getting this new restoration, the dentist will examine the mouth to ensure the unique treatment will be successful. In order to achieve this, the dentist may recommend a sinus lift for an effective procedure. Have our dentists at Terrell Hills Dental recommended a sinus lift for you? You may be wondering what is involved with this procedure and why it is needed. Continue reading on to learn more about sinus lifts!
Why is a Sinus Lift Needed?

What Are Sinus Lifts?

Sinus lifts are not required prior to every dental implant procedure. Our dentists near you may recommend one if your upper jaw has missing teeth, specifically if they are your back molars and if you do not have a sufficient amount of bone to maintain the new restoration. Other situations, such as gum disease or several missing teeth, can lead to bone loss for individuals. If the maxillary sinus is located too close to the upper jaw, then a sinus lift near you may also be needed to properly place the dental implant. Regardless of the reason you may need a sinus lift, our experienced team is eager to help!

What is Involved in a Sinus Lift?

A bone is needed for the sinus lift and can come from either the individual’s own body, a cadaver, or a cow bone. Prior to the procedure, our dentists will take a series of X-rays to see what is below the surface and ensure a successful treatment. The proper form of anesthesia will be provided in order to maintain comfort and keep a stress-free environment. Following the oral surgery, your doctor will prescribe you any additional medications to avoid further pain or discomfort. A follow-up appointment is needed, and after the healing period is over, our dentists can schedule your dental implant procedure. Contact our Terrell Hills Dental team in San Antonio, TX, for more information regarding sinus lifts and similar treatment options. Our staff is happy to work with you to make a custom treatment plan to improve your smile.

FAQs

Local anesthesia is used during a sinus lift procedure to help keep patients comfortable. Some swelling, pressure, or mild soreness may occur after treatment, depending on the extent of the procedure and individual healing response. Our San Antonio team carefully plans treatment to help improve comfort during recovery.

Healing time after a sinus lift can vary based on the amount of bone grafting performed and your body’s healing process. In many cases, the grafted bone requires about 4 to 9 months to heal and develop enough support for dental implant placement. Our team monitors healing progress during follow-up visits at our Harry Wurzbach Rd office.

Patients with reduced upper jawbone volume from tooth loss, gum disease, or natural bone resorption may qualify for sinus lift treatment. This treatment may help create additional bone support for future dental implant placement after a full dental evaluation.
