Sinus lift surgery in Altamura
Advanced techniques for increasing bone volume
A maxillary sinus lift is a procedure aimed at increasing bone thickness in the posterior region of the upper jaw when the natural bone is insufficient to stably place a dental implant. The procedure involves controlled elevation of the sinus membrane and insertion of biocompatible graft material, which integrates with the residual bone over time. The choice between lateral or transcrestal sinus lift depends on the amount of available bone and the clinical complexity of the case, allowing the technique to be tailored to the patient's specific needs. Careful planning, supported by advanced diagnostic tests, allows for predictable outcomes and ensures a safe and functional implant-prosthetic approach.
Graft integration and healing phases
After surgery, the graft requires a healing period to consolidate and create a sufficiently solid base to accommodate the dental implant. During this phase, periodic check-ups allow us to monitor integration, verify bone volume growth, and prevent any complications. The timing varies based on the amount of graft and the patient's individual response, but it represents an essential part of the implant procedure. Once the necessary stability has been achieved, the implant can be placed, completing a process that combines surgical precision and a clinical approach geared toward long-lasting results.
