Sinus Augmentation – Dr. Friedberg & Associates
Create the Foundation for Successful Dental Implants
At Dr. Friedberg & Associates, we perform sinus augmentation to prepare the upper jaw for dental implants. This advanced procedure increases bone height in the back of the mouth, providing the stability and support necessary for long-lasting implant success.
What Is a Sinus Augmentation?
A sinus augmentation—also known as a sinus lift—is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. The sinus membrane is gently lifted to create space for the new bone material, which integrates over time to form a strong foundation for implants.
When Is the Procedure Recommended?
You may be a candidate for sinus augmentation if you:
-
Lack sufficient bone height in the upper jaw for implants
-
Have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease or tooth loss
-
Have sinuses that are too close to the jaw for safe implant placement
