Sinus Lift in Tujunga, CA
Build the Foundation for Successful Dental Implants
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized procedure used to increase bone volume in the upper jaw for dental implant placement. At Crystal Bright Smile, we use advanced digital imaging and personalized treatment planning to help patients restore lost bone and qualify for long-lasting dental implants.
Our experienced team provides safe, comfortable care for patients throughout Tujunga, Sunland, La Crescenta, Glendale, and surrounding communities.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is an oral surgery procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw beneath the sinus cavity. This treatment is commonly recommended when there is insufficient bone height in the upper back jaw to support dental implants. By carefully lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material, we can create a stronger foundation for future implant placement.
Common Reasons for a Sinus Lift
🦷 Bone loss after tooth extraction
🦷 Long-term missing teeth
🦷 Natural sinus anatomy
🦷 Insufficient bone for implants
🦷 Jawbone deterioration
🦷 Preparing for dental implants
