A rare oral surgical procedure, sinus lifts are performed only on the upper jaw, on the teeth near the sinus cavity. If an upper canine has been missing for a long time, the tissue between the sinuses and the oral cavity will become thinner and will become unable to house a dental implant. In these cases the dental implants may actually poke out into the sinus cavity. This is unhealthy, and potentially dangerous, as it leads to higher risk of infections. This is where a sinus lift comes in. It is the surgical augmentation of the sinuses, making them somewhat smaller, and providing a layer that the dental implant can be housed in.
The procedure is fairly simple. It takes roughly 45 minutes, and involves invasive oral surgery. One of the upper quadrants will be opened while you are under local anesthesia. After that, your dentist will insert some bone grafting material into the bottom of the sinus cavity, which will later integrate and make your bone grow and strengthen. The entire area will be sewn shut, and you will be left to heal for around six months (healing times are anywhere between three months and a year).
If you are thinking of getting a dental implant on your upper jaw to replace missing teeth you may have to get a sinus lift. Call our friendly customer care staff for a consultation session with one of our expert oral surgeons.
You may need this procedure if you have had a tooth missing from your upper jaw for a prolonged period of time. The procedure will make the bone between the sinus and the oral cavity thicker and stronger, to provide stability for your dental implants.
Our address is: 8F Gilbert Place, London, WC1A 2JD. About Camden: Lincoln's Inn Fields is a neighbourhood in the extreme south of the borough that is only 500 metres from the Thames. The northern part of the borough is home to Kentish Town, Hampstead, and Hampstead Heath, which are less populous districts. Numerous parks and open areas may be found in the London Borough of Camden. City of Westminster (near Soho, London) and the City of London are the next-door boroughs, followed by Brent to the west of what was once Roman Watling Street (now the A5 Road), Barnet and Haringey to the north, and Islington to the east. It encompasses all or a portion of the following postcode areas: N1, N6, N7, N19, NW1, NW2, NW3, NW5, NW6, NW8, EC1, WC1, WC2, W1, and W9.
The borough of Camden also includes Bloomsbury, known for its garden squares. To the west, the fashionable district of Marylebone is rich in shops and restaurants, while the prestigious Mayfair extends slightly into Camden. Covent Garden, famed for its entertainment and market, adds to Camden's vibrancy. Bordering the east of the borough are Clerkenwell and Farringdon, hubs for the design industry and renowned for their mix of old and new architecture. Although Lambeth and South Bank are located south of the Thames and not within Camden, they contribute to the broader cultural scene that Camden residents can easily access. To the east of Camden, beyond Islington, lies the diverse and bustling borough of Hackney, which provides a distinct cultural blend of its own.
