Sinus Lift Procedure in Keighley

Were you all set to get a brand new smile with dental implants?

Only to be told that you may need an additional sinus lifting procedure. Though it may sound daunting at first, the sinus lift procedure in Keighley is a fairly common and simple step performed while placing dental implants in your upper jaws. Are you wondering what a sinus lift is and why it is necessary? Read on to know more.

What is a sinus lift procedure?

The sinuses are hollow spaces filled with air that are above the back of your upper jaw. They are covered by a membrane and have a structure like a balloon. When teeth are missing for a long time, the bone that once supported them can shrink. This bone loss, coupled with the natural position of your sinuses, can leave too little bone to support dental implants.

A sinus lift procedure, also known as sinus augmentation for implants, gently raises the sinus membrane and places bone material into the area, creating a solid foundation for implants. It is designed to increase the amount of bone in your upper jaw; done in the area of your back teeth, near the sinuses.

How is recovery after a sinus Lift procedure?

We know recovery is a big concern for most. You’d be happy to know that most people find sinus lift procedures much easier than expected. After the procedure, you may experience some mild swelling and discomfort, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief medications.

Tips for a faster recovery:

Avoid blowing your nose or sneezing forcefully to protect the surgical site.
Stick to soft foods for a few days and follow the aftercare instructions we’ll provide.
Attend your follow-up appointments so we can monitor your healing progress.

Most patients feel normal and are back to work within a week. The bone graft may take a few months to integrate with the jaws and you’ll be ready to move forward with the next phase of dental implants thereafter.

The benefits of a sinus lift procedure

To put it together, a sinus lift procedure has many contributions to the success of your dental implants. Some of the benefits are:

Dental implants are possible now

A sinus lift gives you the foundation you need for secure and long-lasting implants.

Prevents further bone loss

Adding bone graft material not only supports implants but also stops further bone loss in the area, preserving your jaw structure.

Restore confidence

Once your implants are in place, you’ll enjoy a strong, stable smile that looks and feels completely natural.

Improves quality of life

From enjoying your favourite foods to speaking clearly and smiling confidently, the benefits of stable implants made possible by a sinus lift are life-changing.

Cost-effective

Sinus lift procedure costs are well within the budget of typical dental implant procedures for multiple teeth or full mouth rehabilitation. Moreover, it ensures stable dental implants that barely need additional maintenance costs.

Is a sinus lift implant surgery necessary?

Many people hold on to their missing back teeth for years without realising that their jawbone changes over time. Missing teeth, gum disease, or even natural ageing can lead to bone loss. If this happens in the upper jaw, it can make placing dental implants tricky because there simply isn’t enough bone to hold them securely.

Your implant dentist may advise sinus lifting procedures in the following cases:

You’ve been missing upper back teeth for a long time, and the bone in your upper jaw has deteriorated.
Your sinuses are naturally large and extend into the space where bone is needed for implants.

In case you want to restore your smile with dental implants and there’s not enough bone to support them, then the implant dentists advise using a sinus graft procedure, which is a sinus lift and grafting to create enough bone for a successful implant journey.

Sinus graft procedure

We perform the procedure under local or general anaesthesia to avoid pain.

Various techniques are used to lift the sinus and promote new bone growth. We gently lift the sinus membrane to create space in the jawbone. We then fill this new space with bone graft material and stitch the gum back in place to allow it to heal.

Dental implants

The timing for placing dental implants can vary.

Depending on the individual treatment plan, we may insert them during the same procedure or after the new bone has integrated with the upper jaw.

We use X-rays and CT scans to map vital structures like nerves and blood vessels, which we need to avoid during surgery, and to identify areas with insufficient bone.

From my first contact with Taylored Dental Care Keighley I was made to feel completely at ease. So much so following my initial treatments under sedation with Graham I have had two visits to Sarah and not felt anxious at all either in the waiting room or in the surgery. This in itself is huge for me! I have seen Matt for several appointments and I cannot recommend him enough he is an absolute professional and puts you at ease immediately you enter the room. I would highly recommend Taylored Dental Care and only wish I’d found them sooner.

Since coming to the practice 6 months ago after many years of not visiting a dentist I can not praise too highly the care I have receivedTo say I was very afraid is putting it mildly. But from my first contact with Jssmine and seeing Graham for the first time I was met with nothing but care concern and a desire to help. There was no judgement at all. Graham was professional,caring and wonderful at explaining the process.Treatment with Sarah was easy. She's amazing at making you feel calm and in control as she checks you are OK regularlyMatt was wonderful kind and caring making me feel at ease His work is amazing. Never thought dentures could look so natural and these are only the temporary ones.Reception staff were friendly and welcoming and put me at my ease.I have a way to go with my treatment but with this wonderful team I know I will get thereThank you all you have changed my life

I am terrified of dentist but i had to go! To say Roy & Ellie Mae were patient would be an understatement! They kept me calm and even took my wisdom tooth out there a then! Fabulous team and even better it was totally pain free putting my faith back into going to the dentist again! Thank you guys!

It has been 30 yrs since my Dad had been to the dentist and now aged 91 I must admit I was quite apprehensive about how he would cope. From my first initial enquiry on the phone to the last review visit he has received excellent care. All the staff have been so helpful , kind and understanding. He is now the proud owner of a beaming smile something he hadn't been able to do for years. His new dentures are perfect and he has been so pleased with the service he has received. He wished he had done it years ago. A big thank you to all the staff especially to Matt for his attention to detail and professional approach.

Fabulous dentist!All the staff are wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. Abby and Charlotte in reception, who are amazing at keeping me calm before any appointment.Graham is just the best dentist ever. He is so calm and patient. From my very first appointment when I could barely go in the room let alone sit in the chair, Graham and Louise allowed me to go at my own pace, making sure I was ok and comfortable at all times. Graham suggested I use their fidget toys, this helped massively to distract me and focus my mind on something else. I also play music through earphones to calm me.Graham, Sarah and Louise have never judged or made me feel silly about being so terrified, even when I’ve burst into tears during my appointment. This has happened with previous dentists which meant I avoided going for years. All my appointments were made to accommodate my anxiety and I know when it gets too much I can stop and have a break before continuing. My appointments with Sarah were exactly the same, she is so calming and constantly checking and reassuring me.As someone who was completely terrified at the thought of going to the dentist to the point of not sleeping for days before appointments, I cannot speak highly enough of this dental practice. I now feel calmer about going and although I am still anxious it’s definitely easier to go to my appointments now.

After a lifetime of dreading dental appointments everyone at Taylored Dental Care put your mind at rest. No more worries!!. Visited the Keighley branch yesterday for hygiene appointment. Just lovely people. Able to relax totally. Thanks to all. Very caring staff. My teeth really looked after. Clean and shiny.Ruth Hill.

I have had a year's worth of dental treatment at Taylored, Keighley including 14 fillings and 2 crowns culminating in getting a denture to replace 3 gaps. I did start going to Taylored with some anxiety about pain, having had a bad experience with an NHS dentist who drilled when I wasn't properly numb. I was so relieved when every visit was pain-free. Graham and his team are like a family that welcomes you back each time you visit, and makes sure you feel comfortable and safe.

The dental technition was friendly, helped me relax, was totally inclusive and receptive to my needs.

I chose to use Taylored Dental Services because I have tendency to pass out after injections. Other dentists in the past don’t seem to have been sensitive or sympathetic to this reaction. TDS certainly were when I needed a tooth extraction last Friday.Graham and his dental assistant looked after me wonderfully when I started to feel faint giving me time to recover, a sugary drink a cooling fan and lots of supportive gentle conversation.I’m happy to return to discuss all the other problems that about 20years of avoiding dentists has resulted in.As a bonus the tooth fairy was very generous !
