The success of dental implant placement and its integration with the bone is heavily reliant on the existing foundation and quality of the patient's bone.
Implant placement in the upper jaw maxillary bones already comes with its unique set of challenges solely by being close to the sinus. Adding the possibility of bone loss, it becomes nearly impossible to execute a healthy and successful implant placement.
To resolve this predicament dentists usually resort to sinus lift surgery.
This surgery, also known as 'sinus augmentation', raises the sinus floor and creates more space for the future implant to comfortably nest in.
Sinus lift surgery goes hand in hand with bone grafting, after all something must occupy the newly accommodated space and fuse with the existing bone tissue to strengthen the area.
There are multiple methods used to implement the sinus lift surgery that also addresses promotion of new bone growth.
After the procedure concludes and the incision is closed there is a 4-12 month healing period that patients need to go through before the actual implant placement begins. Then, after the implant placement there is another healing period allowing bone and implant fuse completely.
Very rarely there are cases where sinus lift and implant placement are carried out simultaneously and successfully.
Sinus lift procedure greatly boosts the chances of successful and durable implants. There is very little discomfort during the procedure, as it is done under local anesthesia.
Here are the steps taken during and after the sinus lift surgery, this is to provide you with overall information.This will ensure that you feel sufficiently prepared and know what to expect.
Typically the surgery proceeds as follows:
1. The gum tissue is incised by the surgeon.
2. The tissue is raised, exposing the bone beneath.
3. The surgeon creates a small hole in the bone. .
4. After a while, there are enough bony fragments pushed into the sinus cavity. And the space that was created by elevation is filled with appropriate bone graft.
5. The incision is then sutured up by the surgeon.
Afterwards is the beginning of the healing process, which usually takes between 4 to 12 months post-surgery. The subsequent phase involves the initiation of the healing process. This time period ensures proper fusion between organic and artificial matter that are bones and bone graft.
Of course, the healing period might vary from person to person, depending on their metabolism, diet, lifestyle, etc. The dentist will give an approximate time frame depending on how much material was grafted.
Typically, there is very little discomfort voiced post-surgery. Of course there are common side-effects such as swelling and possibly some bleeding from mouth or nose. Which usually only happens in the first following days after the surgery.
Additionally it is strongly advised to avoid excessive nasal blowing or sneezing. To avoid sneezing, the healthiest way would be avoiding the situations or places that would trigger a sneezing episode.
Nasal blowing and sneezing have a high risk of shifting the bone graft out of its place and loosening the sutures which would hinder the healing process.
The starting price for a sinus lift surgery is £200. But the cost may increase depending on the case complexity.
The timeline for the dental implant process varies depending on individual cases. Typically, it can take several months from start to finish, including surgery, healing, and the placement of the final restoration.
The surgery itself is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Post-operative pain can be managed with prescribed medications.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular check-ups with your dentist and good oral hygiene are essential for long-term success.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and other factors. Your dentist can provide you with a detailed estimate.
After the initial healing period, you can eat normally. During recovery, you may need to follow a soft food diet for a few days or weeks.
