Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw.
Sinus Lift is a surgical method by which we can increase the amount bone tissue of the upper jaw, above the molars and premolars.
The maxillary sinuses are behind your cheeks and on top of the upper teeth and are like empty rooms that have nothing in them. Some of the roots of the natural upper teeth extend up into the maxillary sinuses. When these upper teeth are removed, there is often just a thin wall of bone separating the maxillary sinus and the mouth. Dental implants need bone to hold them in place. When the sinus wall is very thin, it is impossible to place dental implants in this bone.
To address this problem the dentist will enter the sinus from where the upper teeth used to be. The sinus membrane is then lifted upward and donor bone is inserted into the floor of the sinus. After healing, the bone becomes part of the patient’s jaw and dental implants can be inserted and stabilized in this new sinus bone.
If enough bone between the upper jaw ridge and the bottom of the sinus is available to stabilize the implant well, sinus augmentations and implant placement can sometimes be performed as a single procedure. If not enough bone is available, the Sinus Augmentation will have to be performed first, then the graft will have to mature for several months, depending upon the type of graft material used. Once the graft has matured, the implants can be placed.

Great service and great people. Professional. I used them for me and my 6-yr old. They are good with kids too.
Dentistry of Bellevue is great! After 25 years my gold crown fell out one night and even though the practice was closed the next day, Dr Kharana came in the next morning just to fix it for me. Super nice folks and super efficient.
I never leave reviews, but wanted to leave one for this wonderful office! Of all the dentists I've had over the last few decades, I've never been as impressed as I have with Dentistry of Bellevue! From the moment I called and spoke to Audra at the front desk (who is amazing!), I immediately felt welcomed and was further surprised during my visits. Dr. Khurana and Traci were also very genuine, kind and honest! I highly recommend this dentistry and urge you to check them out! 😉

I have been a patient for over a year. I found this dentist simply by driving in my nebighorhood and I took a chance! I’m glad that I did. I’ve never been disappointed in the service I have received. I traditionally don’t like going to the dentist however, the atmosphere and comradery among patients and staff made me feel welcome and put me at ease. I have found the pricing to reasonable and very detailed.
