Sinus Lift Procedures in Lighthouse Point, FL

Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale Sinus Lift Specialist

If your upper teeth are missing, it’s likely that your sinuses have collapsed. This could mean that you won’t have enough bone to support dental implants. In this case, your dentist or oral surgeon may recommend a sinus lift. This is because the sinus lift procedure can recreate the bone and tissue needed to place dental implants in the upper jaw. For over 20 years, Dr. Jennifer Schaumberg at Oral Surgery Center of Lighthouse Point has been successfully performing sinus lifts for our patients.

The Benefits of Sinus Lifts

There are many benefits of a sinus lift. First, the procedure can help you to keep your natural teeth. Second, it can improve your chewing and speaking ability. Third, it can give you a more youthful appearance. Fourth, it can provide support for dental implants. Fifth, it can reduce the risk of implant failure. 

The Sinus Lift Process

The sinus lift process usually takes place in two stages:

First, the oral surgeon will make an incision in the gums. They will then lift up the gum tissue to expose the bone. Next, they will create a small opening in the bone. This will give them access to the sinuses.

Once they have access to the sinuses, they will gently lift up the sinus lining. They will then place bone graft material in the area. The bone graft material will help to support the dental implants. Finally, the oral surgeon will close the incisions with sutures.

The second stage of the procedure is typically performed 4-9 months after the first stage. This is because the bone needs time to heal. During the second stage, the oral surgeon will place the dental implants. Once the implants are in place, they will be left to fuse with the bone. After a few months, the dental implants will be ready to support a dental prosthetic. This could be a denture, bridge, or crown. 

Caring for Your Mouth After a Sinus Lift

A sinus lift is considered a major dental surgery. As such, it’s important to take care of your mouth after the procedure.

Here are a few tips:

Rest. It’s important to rest after a sinus lift. This will help your body to heal properly.

Eat soft foods. Eating soft foods will help to prevent irritating the surgical site.

Avoid smoking. Smoking can delay healing and increase the risk of complications.

Practice good oral hygiene. Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth carefully.

Avoid irritating the surgical site. This means that you should avoid activities that could irritate the surgical site, such as blowing your nose or wearing a dental prosthetic.

Prescriptions. Be sure to take any prescribed medication as directed. If you experience any pain or soreness, be sure to take over-the-counter medication.
