Sinus lift is a common dental procedure that involves lifting the sinus membrane to make room for bone grafting in the upper jaw. This procedure is typically performed before a dental implant is placed, as it helps to create a solid foundation for the implant.

Here are some frequently asked questions:

Why might I need a sinus lift?

You might need a sinus lift if you have lost bone in your upper jaw due to tooth loss or gum disease. This can make it difficult to place a dental implant, as there may not be enough bone to support it.

Is a sinus lift a painful procedure?

While a sinus lift is a surgical procedure, it is typically performed under local anesthesia, which helps to minimize pain and discomfort. Most patients are able to manage any post- operative pain with over-the-counter pain medications.

How long does it take to recover from a sinus lift?

Recovery time can vary depending on the individual patient and the extent of the procedure. However, most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.

How long does a sinus lift last?

A sinus lift is a permanent procedure that provides a solid foundation for a dental implant. However, the success of the procedure depends on proper aftercare, such as maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding activities that could damage the implant.
