Sinus Lift Surgery

Hard and soft tissue surgery for maximum results

I have multiple missing teeth, why does my appearance look different?

Many patients put up with the embarrassment and discomfort of missing teeth for many years. To add insult to injury, very often patients will complaint that their appearance is altered.

This is because jawbone may have receded quite dramatically around the areas where teeth are missing (after all, the jawbone is present to hold the teeth in place, once teeth are missing, it will start to shrink back). This process can leave patients with vastly reduced bone volume, this in turn can cause cheeks to sink & hollow as there is no bone available to support the soft tissue.

In addition, when implants are placed in the back of the upper jaw, there is often reduced space due to the positioning of the sinus cavity. This, in combination with bone loss can make it very difficult to place implants.

On these occasions, our implant surgeons use Sinus Graft and Bone Augmentation techniques in order to create more height and width of bone in which to place dental implants.

At Ascent Dental Care Loughborough, our skilled dental implant surgeons routinely carry out Sinus Lift procedures

The sinus is a hollow cavity which is an air space in our jaw bone. A Sinus Lift involves lifting the floor of the sinus and placing bone into the cavity to successfully allow implants to be placed. This graft material will form a matrix and will grow into the surrounding bone to form a solid structure very similar to bone. After a healing period, the area will be assessed and your implant/s will be ready to be placed.

Why should I have a Sinus Lift?

  • A Sinus Lift will enable us to increase bone volume
  • In turn, this will allow us to place implants and provide a beautiful natural implant based smile that once may not have been possible
  • They help to maintain bone integrity long term
  • They help to retain facial form and features
  • They can sometimes be carried out at the same time as implant placement
  • We can carry out this procedure ‘in-house’ therefore reducing the need to refer patients
