Enhancing Bone for Successful Implants
Sinus lifts, also known as sinus augmentation, are specialized procedures performed to increase bone height in the upper jaw, particularly in the molar and premolar areas, where insufficient bone may hinder successful dental implant placement. This transformative technique elevates the sinus membrane, allowing for bone grafting and creating a stable foundation for implants, ensuring optimal outcomes at The Hampstead Clinic in Hampstead.
When are Sinus Lifts Beneficial?
Sinus lifts prove beneficial for individuals experiencing bone insufficiency in the upper jaw, especially in the molar and premolar areas, enabling successful implant placement by augmenting bone height. Additionally, those encountering natural bone resorption after tooth loss in the upper jaw find value in sinus lifts, ensuring sufficient bone support essential for implant stability and integration.

Bone Augmentation
Sinus lifts address insufficient bone height in the upper jaw, typically caused by natural bone resorption after tooth loss or anatomical limitations related to sinus size and position, ensuring a solid foundation for dental implants
-
Facilitating Implant Placement:
By increasing bone volume in the posterior maxilla, sinus lifts provide adequate support for dental implants, enabling their stable and successful integration, which is critical for long-term success.
-
Enhanced Treatment Success
These procedures enhance the success rates of dental implants in cases where bone height limitations would otherwise hinder implant placement, offering patients a reliable path to restoring their smiles.
The Sinus Lift Procedure

Evaluation and Planning: Thorough assessment, including imaging, helps determine bone quantity and quality, guiding treatment planning.
Incision and Sinus Elevation: A small incision is made in the gum tissue to access the sinus membrane. The membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed in the space created.
Healing and Bone Integration: Over time, the bone graft material fuses with the existing bone, creating a stronger and higher bone structure conducive to implant placement.
