Dental Implants: A Modern Solution
Losing teeth can drastically alter your life. Dental implants, small titanium posts embedded into your jawbone, come to the rescue. These serve as the foundation of your dental restorations or ceramic crowns. A 98% success rate accompanies this treatment, making it an increasingly popular choice for tooth replacement. However, a key element to the procedure’s success is sufficient bone mass in your jaw. Insufficient bone may lead to loose implants or even implant failure. Therefore, an intervention known as a sinus lift becomes crucial.
Effects of Bone Loss On Implant Stability
Everyday actions, like chewing, maintain your jawbone’s health through stimulation, prompting your body to provide essential nutrients for bone strength. However, losing teeth result in the loss of this essential stimulation, causing a gradual decrease in bone mass, which in turn weakens the bone. Implants inserted into a weakened bone may not integrate well, affecting the stability and longevity of your dental restorations. In consideration of the upper jaw, the roots of some teeth extend near the maxillary sinus cavities. Losing these teeth reduces the distance between the jaw and the sinus cavities, which might harm the stability of your implants and potentially puncture the sinus cavities, leading to recurring sinus infections.
Significance of Sinus Lift
The sinus lift procedure not only regains the strength and mass of your jawbone but also ensures the safe distance between the jaw and sinus cavities, facilitating successful implant placement. The process involves a bone graft, which reinforces your jaw and creates a necessary space for your sinus cavities.
Bone Grafting for Sinus Lift
The type of bone graft depends on the individual and will be decided upon during your initial consultation. The three types are:
1. Autograft: An autograft uses bone mass from your body. Although requiring two surgical sites, it poses no risk of disease transmission.
2. Allograft: An allograft uses bone mass from a donor, which is screened thoroughly to minimize disease transmission or other potential risks. This process only requires one surgical site.
3. Xenogenic grafting: A xenogenic graft utilizes bone from an animal source, commonly a cow. This bone is treated at high temperatures to eliminate the risk of disease transmission. Once again, only one surgical site is required.
Your Sinus Lift Procedure
Sinus lift procedures are conducted under local anesthesia. Additionally, sedation can be provided for your relaxation during the operation. We make small incisions in your gums around your molars and premolars, then in your jawbone, by utilizing small, specialized tools. This approach facilitates us to elevate the floors of your sinus cavities, following which the bone graft material is affixed underneath. Closing your gums with sutures completes the procedure. As your jaw regains its strength after complete recovery from the bone graft, we commence with the implant placement.
