What to Expect When Having a Sinus Lift
A common problem for those missing teeth in the upper molar or premolar area of the jaw is the lack of bone volume due to the sinus cavity. Those with a large sinus cavity or lack of bone volume in their upper jaw will find it difficult to have dental implants placed in this location since there is insufficient bone volume to hold the implant post in place effectively. A sinus lift is a procedure used to augment the bone of your upper jaw. To accommodate the addition of bone, the sinuses must be lifted. Dr. Charles McBrayer and Dr. Strever frequently performs this treatment in preparation for those seeking dental implants in their upper jaw.
