What is Sinus Lift and Bone Graft?

Sinus Lift is a kind of bone graft procedure. It is performed when there is extreme bone loss on the patient’s maxilla (the part where the premolar and molar teeth are) or pneumatized maxillary sinus (enlargement of maxillary sinus).This may require a bone graft as the sinuses are right above the upper teeth.Dr. Aburas Dental Center is among the few dental clinics in Dubai to solve such serious problems occurring in the field of Implantology. This problem is associated with the bone loss due to injury or periodontal disease in the targeted area of the jaw where the implant is required to be placed. This loss of supporting bone can be in various shapes either horizontal or vertical and in different grades ranging from mild to severe. Bone loss mainly occurs when a patient has left an area with missing teeth untreated for a long time.

What can be done about it?

Dr. Aburas Dental Center follows most advanced practice related to the Bone Grafting and Sinus Lift Procedure to solve this issue by performing advanced surgical procedures known as bone reconstruction. Our dental clinics in Dubai use different types of bone grafting substance such as Auto-graft, Allograft, Xeno-graft, Synthetic, to name a few. These Allografts are selected after careful consideration related to the condition of jaw bones and oral health of the patient individually. Dr. Aburas Dental Center offers treatment for “maxillary sinus floor falling down”

How do we do it?

The dental Implant surgeon enters the Sinus from where the upper teeth used to be. The Sinus membrane is then lifted upward and bone is inserted into the floor of the Sinus. After several months of healing, the bone becomes part of the patient’s jaw and dental Implants can be inserted into this new Sinus bone.

How long does it take to recover from Sinus Lift and Bone Graft?

Depending on your overall level of oral health and the state of your jaw tissue, it may take 3-9 months to heal from a Sinus Lift or Bone Graft, and for the Graft to be stable enough to support a dental Implant.

How long does the swelling last after an Implant Bone Graft and Sinus Lift?

Swelling is a normal occurrence after surgery. Swelling peaks in 48-72 hours and then gradually decreases. To minimize swelling apply ice packs to the area of surgery, 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off, for the first 24-36 hours. After 36 hours ice is ineffective.

Does a Sinus Lift change facial appearance?

Yes, by restoring bone that has been lost in the upper jaw, a Sinus Lift will often change your facial appearance for the better, reversing the sunken, prematurely aged look associated with tooth loss.
