Brooklyn NY Sinus LIft Dentists

There are times when further preparation for a dental implant must be done, when the amount of bone in a patient’s upper jaw is inadequate for the upcoming implant.  A procedure to help with this is called a sinus lift, which is a bone grafting procedure. Advanced Dentistry & Implantology have performed sinus lift bone grafting procedures for our patients over the years in our Long Beach, Long Island and Brooklyn, NY dental offices.

Reasons why insufficient amount of bone in the upper jawbone would include:

• The size and shape of the patient's jaw and the size and shape of their maxillary sinus varies. There may be a small upper jaw and a large sinus which recreates the situation where there isn't enough bone for a dental implant.
• Bone loss due to gum disease.
• Bone reabsorbed due to previous teeth extractions
• Other factors such as removal of teeth, cysts or tumors

There are several types of bone graft materials that would be used with the sinus lift. Our sinus lift dentist will advise you as to the type that would work out best for your situation.
