FAQs
What is sinus augmentation, and why is it needed?
Sinus augmentation is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. It’s often necessary when there isn’t enough bone height for dental implants due to bone loss or the natural shape of the sinuses.
Is the sinus lift procedure painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. We provide effective pain management options and clear aftercare instructions to help you stay comfortable as you heal.
How long does it take to recover from a sinus augmentation?
Recovery time varies but typically ranges from a few days to two weeks. Your body needs time to integrate the bone graft before placing implants, which can add several months to the overall treatment timeline.
Are there any risks or complications associated with sinus lifts?
While sinus augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include sinus membrane tears or infections. At Downtown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we take every precaution to reduce risks and handle any issues promptly.
Can I still get dental implants after a sinus lift?
Yes. In fact, the sinus augmentation procedure is designed to prepare your jawbone to securely hold dental implants for long-term stability and function.
