Sinus augmentation, also known as sinus lift surgery, is a procedure designed to add bone to your upper jaw, specifically in the area of your molars and premolars. At Dental Spa & Implant Center of West Covina, we offer this advanced treatment to prepare the jaw for dental implants and ensure a strong, stable foundation.
What is Sinus Augmentation?
Sinus augmentation involves lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material into the sinus floor. This procedure is typically performed when there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw or when the sinuses are too close to the jaw for dental implants to be placed.
Benefits of Sinus Augmentation
- Improved Implant Success: By increasing the amount of bone in the upper jaw, sinus augmentation provides the necessary support for dental implants, enhancing their stability and longevity.
- Enhanced Oral Functionality: Dental implants supported by sinus augmentation restore the ability to chew and speak effectively.
- Prevention of Bone Loss: The procedure helps maintain the bone structure, preventing further bone loss that can occur after tooth loss.
