Sinus Lift at The Maryland Center for Complete Dentistry

Improve Your Smile Confidence

Welcome to the Maryland Center for Complete Dentistry, where Dr. Silverman, our caring team, and advanced dental procedures such as sinus lifts are a specialty. Our practice, located in Owings Mills, MD, is dedicated to improving your oral health and restoring your smile.

What is a Sinus Lift?

The sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, is a surgical technique that adds bone to the upper teeth in the region of the premolars and molars. This procedure is usually performed when the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone height to support a dental implant.

Why Choose a Sinus Lift?

  • Preparation of Dental Implants: Adequate bone height is necessary to successfully place dental implants in the upper jaw. A sinus lift is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient bone for the implants.
  • Preserve Facial Structure: Tooth Loss in the Upper Jaw can lead to Bone Loss and a Sunken Appearance. A sinus lift can help maintain the contours of your facial features.
  • Improved Aesthetics: By increasing bone volume, a dental sinus lift can contribute to a natural-looking smile. It also enhances the aesthetics of dental restorations.
  • Increased Functionality: Dental Implants placed in bone that is adequately augmented provide stability and durability. This allows you to speak and chew comfortably.

The Sinus Lift Procedure

  1. Consultation & Planning:
  • Dr. Silverman performs a thorough evaluation that may include x-rays or CT scanners to determine your bone structure and anatomy of the sinuses.
  • A personalized treatment plan is developed based on the results of this evaluation to meet your needs and achieve your goals.
  1. Surgical Procedure
  • Local anesthesia is used to perform the sinus lift surgery. This ensures your comfort.
  • Dr. Silverman will gently lift the membrane of the sinus upward after he has accessed the sinus via the upper jawbone.
  • The bone graft is placed between the sinus floor and the jaw to encourage new bone growth.
  • After the bone graft has been securely placed, the incision will be closed with stitches, and the healing process will begin.
  1. Recovery and Follow-up:
  • After your surgery, you will receive instructions on how to heal optimally. You may initially experience mild swelling and discomfort, but this can be treated with prescribed medication.
  • The bone graft is incorporated with the existing bone over the next few months. This will create a strong foundation for dental implants or other restorative treatments.
  • Dr. Silverman will monitor your progress at regular follow-up visits, ensuring that your treatment plan remains on track.
