Question 1

How do I know if I need a sinus lift before getting dental implants?

Accepted Answer

You may need a sinus lift if a dental evaluation reveals that your upper jaw lacks adequate bone height for the successful placement of dental implants. Dr Anthony can assess your situation through imaging and clinical evaluation to determine if a sinus lift is required.

Question 2

What is the sinus lift procedure like, and what can I expect during and after the surgery?

Accepted Answer

During a sinus lift, Dr Anthony gently lifts the sinus membrane and adds bone graft material to create a stable foundation for dental implants. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anaesthesia, and you may experience some swelling and mild discomfort during the recovery period. Detailed post-operative instructions will be provided to facilitate a smooth recovery.

Question 3

Is a sinus lift a permanent solution for dental implant support?

Accepted Answer

A sinus lift is a reliable and long-term solution to provide the necessary bone height for dental implant placement in the upper jaw. With proper care and follow-up, dental implants can be successfully placed and provide a stable and lasting solution for missing teeth in the upper jaw.
