Advanced Sinus Lift (Achieve Stable Implants With Lateral Approach)

· Those in Seoul looking to place implants with severe bone loss.
· Those who want to rebuild lost bone under the sinus.
· Those who want to restore missing molars where bone is insufficient.
· Those who wish to create enough bone height for stable implants.
· Those who wish to ensure long-term implant stability.

Advanced Sinus Lift (Lateral Approach) is a refined surgical technique to rebuild lost bone in the upper jaw (maxilla) by lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material. Its main function is to create sufficient bone volume to support dental implants in areas with significant bone deficiency. By using modern precision tools and minimally invasive methods, this approach improves safety, reduces complications, and ensures predictable outcomes.

Benefits include the ability to treat patients with minimal existing bone, high implant survival rates, and more controlled surgical results.

Advanced Sinus Lift (Lateral Approach) begins with a gum flap to expose the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus. A small, carefully designed window is cut into the bone using precision instruments such as piezoelectric ultrasonic devices, which minimize the risk of tearing the delicate sinus membrane. Once the membrane is gently lifted, bone graft material – either autogenous, donor-derived, or a combination – is placed in the created space.

Advanced techniques focus on minimizing the size and position of the bone window, which reduce surgical difficulty and potential complications. The site may allow immediate dental implant placement or may require a healing period before implants are inserted. Enhanced visualization of the surgical site helps the dentist at our affiliated clinic manage risks and optimize the bone graft placement.

1. Consultation and jaw assessment will be conducted.
2. Imaging (CBCT scan) will be performed.
3. Local anesthesia will be administered.
4. A gum flap will be raised to expose the lateral sinus wall.
5. A precise lateral window will be created, and the sinus membrane will be gently lifted.
6. Bone graft material will be placed.
7. Implant placement will be performed, and gum flap will be sutured.
8. Post-care instructions will be provided.

<Advantages>

· Refrain from blowing the nose or sneezing forcefully
· Avoid strenuous activities for at least 5 to 7 days after procedure

Q1: What is the difference between vertical and Advanced Sinus Lift (Lateral Approach)?
A1: Vertical bone augmentation focuses on increasing the height of the jawbone, often in areas with mild to moderate bone loss, and may use block grafts or other techniques. Advanced Sinus Lift (Lateral Approach) specifically targets the upper back jaw where the sinus limits vertical bone height. It involves creating a small lateral window to lift the sinus membrane and place bone graft material, allowing implants even when there is severe bone loss.

Q2: Is Advanced Sinus Lift (Lateral Approach) only for the upper jaw?
A2: Yes, this procedure is designed for the posterior maxilla (upper back jaw) because the sinus cavity above the upper molars can limit bone height needed for implants.

Q3: How painful is Advanced Sinus Lift (Lateral Approach)?
A3: Most patients experience only mild to moderate discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication.

Q4: Will my face change after Advanced Sinus Lift (Lateral Approach)?
A4: No, the procedure only affects the bone inside the upper jaw. External facial appearance remains unchanged.

Q5: How long is recovery after Advanced Sinus Lift (Lateral Approach)?
A5: Initial healing usually takes 7 to 10 days, during which swelling and mild discomfort may occur. Complete bone integration can take 4 to 6 months before implants can be placed.
