SINUS LIFTS IN SAN DIEGO, POWAY & SORRENTO VALLEY, CA

PREPARE FOR YOUR DENTAL IMPLANTS WITH A SINUS LIFT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. This gives dental implants something to attach to and helps to make sure that your implant is secure. At A+ Family Dentistry, we use the latest technology and techniques to ensure that your sinus lift is as minimally invasive as possible and that you experience a quick, easy recovery on your journey to fully restored smile.

Signs That a Sinus Lift is Needed

Sinus lifts are ideal for patients who need additional bone support in their upper arch for dental implants. X-rays and exams will determine if you are a candidate for this common procedure. There are a few different signs that may indicate that you need a sinus lift. These include:

What Happens During Sinus Lift Treatment?

The sinus lift procedure involves lifting up the tissue that lines the sinuses, and then adding bone material to the exposed area. This bone material can come from your own body, or it can be artificial. Once the area has been filled in with bone, the tissue is put back in place and the incisions are closed. During a sinus lift, advanced technology allows us to access the sinus cavity without having to cut through the bone. This helps to minimize any damage to the surrounding tissue and speeds up healing time. The bone grafts used are also made of natural, biocompatible materials that are designed to encourage new bone growth.

Is a Sinus Lift Painful?

No, a sinus lift is not painful thanks to the help of local anesthesia. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but it is generally well tolerated. We will numb the area to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the entire process. Even after the procedure is complete, you should not experience excessive pain during recovery. The healing process is typically fairly short and easy to tolerate. If you do experience any pain, we can provide you with medication to help manage it.
