Sinus Lift Vancouver

• How Sinus Lift Surgery Enables You Of Getting Implants

Before we dive into this procedure, let’s take a quick look at the steps taken to give you dental implants.

• During the initial consultation, your goals for dental implants will be discussed
• Then, your doctor examines your teeth, gums, and mouth.
• Your dentist will take X-rays from your head to ensure of jawbone and skull health.
• If needed, you’ll get sinus lift surgery.
• The dental implant holder, or the abutment will be placed in your mouth.
• Finally, your doctor inserts the implants.

These steps can require different amounts of time. How long they take depends on your overall oral health.

• The Procedure

One can take several approaches to perform sinus lift surgery. So here, we just tell you about the basics of the surgery, giving you a better grip on what to expect.

• First and foremost, your dentist will either numb the area with local anaesthetics or give you oral or intravenous sedatives so that you’re calm and comfortable during the procedure.
• Your surgeon will then make small incisions in the back portion of your gum tissue to expose the bone.
• After that, your surgeon will cut a small part of the bone, making sure to avoid the sinus membranes.
• Once that is done, your surgeon will lift the cut portion of the bone up into the sinus cavity, raising the membrane.
• Your surgeon will then fill the lifted area with bone craft materials. Whether they’ll use actual bone tissue taken from you in a bone graft surgery or synthetic bone material, depends on the discussions you have with your dentist on the subject.
• Sutures come next, closing the incisions in your gums.

After the procedure, your dentist will instruct you on the aftercare and how you can get back to normal life.

• Recovery

The recovery process should take no more than 2-3 days. If the bleeding or swelling worsened after that time, or if the pain remained the same, call your dentist immediately.

• Overall …

Every step of a sinus lift surgery should be done carefully to pave the way for your future dental implants. If done correctly and taken care of properly, your sinus lift surgery will cause you no complications.
