Sinus Lift

The Sinus is an air filled cavity that is in the back part of the upper jaw. When we place dental implants, we want them in solid bone. Sometimes we have to add bone (graft) to support the implants. In 1974, Dr. Hilt Tatum developed a procedure for adding the necessary bone for dental implants to replace upper missing teeth. This procedure is now done all over the world and has become the most predictable grafting site in the intraoral region.

Sometimes there is enough natural bone left to place the implants in a normal fashion without the addition of any extra bone.

Sometimes we are able to add bone and place the implants at the same time.

When there is very little natural bone to secure the implant, the necessary bone is added in the form of a graft which creates a new sinus floor. We let this heal about three months, then when the graft is mature we are able to place implants. A variety of graft materials can be used in these procedures.

She is very knowledgeable and transparent. The office is clean and comfortable with minimal wait time. They use the latest technology and staff are professional and respectable.

I was super nervous about having all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. The staff was so welcoming and warm and the surgeon was terrific! Everything was explained in great details. The procedure was over before I knew it! Definitely recommend, 100%!

I began experiencing terrible pressure building up in my mouth over the weekend. I knew it was my wisdom teeth. Sunday morning I called the office and they said in the case of an emergency, text the doctors directly. They squeezed me in Monday morning at 9 and took care of me quickly. The staff are so friendly and kind. The office is clean and efficient. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you

Entire staff was professional, friendly and caring. Made sure I was aware of my options available. I had a wisdom tooth extracted. Procedure was quick and painless and staff already had my prescription ready to be picked up. Thank you for an all around painless experience.
