Sinus Lift Montgomery & Conroe, Texas
A sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, adds bone to the upper jaw so patients have a stronger foundation for dental implants. At Montgomery & Conroe Comprehensive Dental Centers, Offices of Dr. Timothy E. Gardner & Associates, our team serves patients throughout Conroe and Montgomery, Texas with personalized restorative care. We take the time to explain your options and help you feel confident about the path toward a healthier, more complete smile.
What Is a Sinus Lift
A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a procedure that adds bone between the upper molars and premolars to build up the sinus floor. This extra bone gives your jaw the height and density needed to support a dental implant. Our dentists perform this procedure to prepare the upper jaw before implant placement.
Why Would I Need a Sinus Lift?
Bone loss in the upper jaw can occur after tooth loss, gum disease, or natural changes in the sinus over time. When there is not enough bone to anchor an implant securely, a sinus lift may be recommended to build a stable foundation. Our team evaluates your bone structure carefully to determine whether this procedure fits your treatment plan.
What to Expect With the Procedure
Your sinus lift begins with a thorough evaluation so our team can plan your treatment around your specific needs. During the procedure, bone material is placed in the sinus area and given time to heal and integrate with your jaw before implants are placed. We take the time to walk you through each step so you feel informed and comfortable throughout your care.
Benefits of a Sinus Lift
A sinus lift can make it possible to receive dental implants when bone loss would otherwise stand in the way. By building a stronger foundation, this procedure helps support the long-term success of your implant and your overall oral health.
