Sinus Lift In Albania – Queen Dental

Sinus Lift Procedure Step By Step

Step 1: Initial Consultation -> Treatment begins with a detailed consultation at Queen Dental. The dentist examines your teeth, gums, upper jawbone, and sinus anatomy to determine whether a sinus lift is needed. This helps create the right treatment plan for your specific case.

Step 2: Digital Scans And Assessment -> Digital X-rays and a 3D CBCT scan are used to evaluate the height and quality of the available bone and to assess the sinus cavity. These images allow the dentist to plan the procedure with greater precision. Careful planning improves safety and predictability.

Step 3: Preparation Before Treatment -> The area is prepared before the sinus lift is performed. Local anaesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The goal is to create the best possible conditions for a safe and effective treatment.

Step 4: Access To The Sinus -> A small opening is made in the gum tissue to expose the upper jawbone. A gentle opening is then created in the bone to access the sinus membrane beneath it. This is done carefully to avoid damaging the membrane.

Step 5: Lifting The Sinus Membrane -> The sinus membrane is carefully and gently lifted upward to create space between the membrane and the jawbone. This creates the room needed to place the bone graft material in the correct position.

Step 6: Bone Graft Placement -> Bone graft material is placed in the space created beneath the lifted sinus membrane. This adds height and volume to the upper jawbone. The graft is positioned carefully to support stable healing and future implant placement.

Step 7: Closure And Healing -> The gum tissue is sutured closed and the healing process begins. Over the next several months, the grafted material integrates with the existing bone and new bone begins to form. Healing time depends on the amount of grafting and the patient’s overall condition.

Who Is A Good Candidate For A Sinus Lift?

A good candidate for a sinus lift is someone who needs dental implants in the upper back jaw but does not have enough bone height for secure implant placement. This treatment is usually recommended when the sinus cavity sits too close to the jawbone, leaving limited space for implants.

Here is who may be considered a good candidate:

• Patients who have suffered bone damage from trauma or infection in the upper jaw area
• Patients who need dental implants in the upper jaw but do not have enough bone height to support them
• Patients whose sinuses are positioned too low, leaving little space between the sinus cavity and the jaw
• Patients who have experienced bone loss in the upper jaw after tooth loss, particularly in the molar or premolar region
• Patients whose bone has naturally reabsorbed over time due to long-term tooth loss or denture use
• Patients with bone loss caused by advanced gum disease that has affected the upper jawbone

Post-Op Care After A Sinus Lift

Proper aftercare is important after a sinus lift because the area needs time to heal without pressure or irritation. Following the right instructions helps protect the graft and supports a smoother recovery.

• Do not blow your nose for 7 to 10 days after the procedure.
• Use ice packs during the first 24 hours to help reduce swelling.
• Eat soft foods for the first days after treatment.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol during the healing period.
• Do not rinse, spit, or brush aggressively near the treated area.
• Keep your mouth clean, but be gentle around the surgical site.
• Follow all aftercare instructions given by Queen Dental.
