After reviewing your x-rays and CT scan, our dentists will decide whether a direct sinus lift or indirect sinus lift best fits your upper jaws bone height. A typical sinus procedure includes:

1.  Create an incision and raise the tissue around your back teeth.
2.  Push the sinus membrane away from the jaw bone.
3.  Fill the space above the upper jaw with bone graft material.
4.  Stitch the tissue back together.

Following a sinus lift surgery, it’s normal to experience swelling and bleeding — but most patients report minimum pain and discomfort. Our dentists at Eastvale Dentistry usually recommends these aftercare instructions:

•  Avoid blowing your nose and forceful sneezing
•  Take antibiotics to prevent infection
•  Rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash

Approximately one week following your procedure the dentist will remove your stitches, continue to monitor your healing over the course of several months and decide when the dental implant procedure can be performed. In some cases our dentists is able to surgically place the implant during the sinus lift procedure.
