Sinus Augmentation

Loss of posterior teeth may result in excessive forces being placed on your remaining teeth. Fortunately, the use of dental implants and crowns allow you to replace these missing teeth. However, the position of the sinus in the upper posterior areas may be too low for proper placement of dental implants.

There are two main types of sinus procedures. The first type creates a small window allowing for placement of a bone graft. The second type gently pushes up the floor of the sinus in the area of the implant. Both create additional space to properly place an implant.

Sinus augmentation procedures are highly predictable, with studies reporting over 95% success.
