If you have lost your upper back teeth and are experiencing bone loss in that area, you may be a candidate for a sinus lift in Royal Palm Beach, FL. At Novudentics, our experienced dental specialists perform sinus lift procedures to add bone grafting material to the sinus cavity, helping to regenerate bone in the upper jaw and make dental implant placement possible.
All About Your Sinus
The sinuses are empty, air-filled cavities located on the right and left sides of the upper arch. They connect the oral and nasal cavities on both sides of the face. The sinus cavity has a membrane in its lowermost part that must remain intact during dental procedures to prevent complications such as pain, discomfort, or sinusitis, an infection of the cavity.
Sinus Lifts Explained
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a procedure performed when the bone is inadequate for implant placement. During a sinus lift, the prosthodontist “pushes” the membrane of the lower part of the sinus higher, creating space to add bone and augment the site for implant placement. When performed by a dental specialist, the procedure is straightforward and has minimal risk of complications.
In some cases, a sinus lift may be the only option for patients seeking to replace missing posterior teeth and can significantly improve their quality of life. Contact Novudentics at 561-567-7880 for a clinical and radiographic evaluation to determine if a sinus lift is right for you.
How Are Sinuses Related to Your Teeth?
The posterior teeth play a crucial role in the occlusal and esthetic function of the patient. Missing posterior teeth, when not replaced, can be associated with an older facial appearance, reduced chewing ability, and occlusal malfunction, potentially leading to temporomandibular disorders.
Replacing posterior teeth in the maxilla requires sufficient bone height and width for implant placement. In some cases, the bone may be inadequate for implant placement, which can be determined by a highly accurate radiographic examination called CBCT (cone beam computed tomography).
