Sinus Lift in Torrance

Sinus Lift in Torrance

A sinus lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw to support dental implants. When bone height is insufficient due to tooth loss, gum disease, or natural sinus expansion, a sinus lift can create a stable foundation for long-term implant success. At SmileWell Family Dentistry, we provide precise and comfortable sinus lift procedures tailored to your individual needs.

What Is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, involves gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material beneath it. This process encourages new bone growth in the upper jaw, creating adequate bone volume for dental implant placement.

When Is a Sinus Lift Needed?

A sinus lift may be recommended if:

  • You are missing teeth in the upper back jaw
  • There is not enough bone height to place dental implants
  • The sinus cavity has expanded into the jawbone over time
  • You want a stable, long-term solution with dental implants

Our Sinus Lift Approach

We use advanced imaging and surgical techniques to plan your procedure with precision and care. Our approach focuses on patient comfort, safety, and predictable outcomes, whether the sinus lift is performed as a standalone procedure or in preparation for implant placement.

  • Comprehensive evaluation and digital imaging
  • Carefully placed bone graft material
  • Minimally invasive techniques when appropriate
  • Detailed post-operative care and follow-up

Benefits of a Sinus Lift

A sinus lift provides several important benefits, including:

  • Increased bone volume in the upper jaw
  • Improved support and stability for dental implants
  • Higher implant success rates
  • Restored function and chewing ability

Healing and Recovery

Following a sinus lift, a healing period is required to allow new bone to integrate fully. Our team will provide clear aftercare instructions and monitor your healing to ensure optimal results before moving forward with implant placement.
