At J Smiles Dental Implants Studio, we offer sinus lifts to enhance your dental implant treatment, ensuring a strong foundation for your new teeth. A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized procedure designed to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw beneath the sinus cavity when there is not enough bone structure to support a dental implant.

During the procedure, our skilled team carefully elevates the sinus membrane and places a graft material into the newly created space. This promotes bone growth and provides a solid base for the placement of dental implants. With a sinus lift, you can enjoy the benefits of a complete smile restoration even if you have experienced bone loss in the upper jaw.

The Sinus Lift Procedure

Our approach to sinus lifts is tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment process. Our implantologists will begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including imaging studies, to determine the best course of action. This helps in creating a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific requirements.

The sinus lift procedure itself is performed with precision and care. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Jiro Akpobome or Dr. Christopher Roclevitch will make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the sinus cavity. Once the graft material is placed, it will integrate with the surrounding bone over time, providing a stable environment for future dental implants.

Our commitment to your comfort and well-being means that we use state-of-the-art technology and gentle techniques to ensure the best possible outcome. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery and ensure optimal results.
