Sinus lift
Sinus lift is an advanced surgical procedure performed to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw, which is particularly important when placing dental implants in areas with insufficient bone. By lifting the sinus membrane, the surgeon creates space for the delivery of bone grafts, which strengthens the bone structure and allows the implants to be securely attached. This method is ideal for patients who have too close a distance between the sinuses and the upper jaw or a limited amount of bone that needs to be strengthened for future implants.
At Gloss & Floss Dental Care® in Södermalm, we are one of the few private dental clinics to perform this procedure, placing us at the forefront of advanced dental technology. In a sinus lift, the surgeon carefully opens an area of the gums to expose the jawbone, avoids damaging the sinus membrane, and then lifts it to place the bone graft. This area is filled with bone tissue taken from the patient, a donor, animal or synthetic source, providing a stable foundation for the implants.
Our experienced staff are specially trained in this type of procedure and are involved in every step of the process to make your treatment as safe and effective as possible. The procedure ends by covering the lifted area with soft tissue, ensuring an optimal healing environment.
