Are you considering a dental implant but have been told you need a bone graft or a sinus lift? This is a common step in advanced dentistry, and while it may sound complex, it is a safe and highly effective procedure.
At Dental One, a dental clinic located in Town Center, Costa del Este, Panama, we perform these treatments using cutting-edge technology and highly trained specialists. In this article, we explain when they are needed, how they are performed, and what results you can expect.
What Is a Dental Bone Graft?
A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure that involves placing a portion of bone in the upper or lower jaw to increase its density. This technique reinforces the patient’s bone structure, creating a solid foundation for future dental implants.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift (or sinus augmentation) is a surgical procedure performed when the posterior area of the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone height, particularly near the sinus cavity.
During the procedure, the surgeon carefully lifts the sinus membrane and places bone graft material in the created space. This strengthens the jaw structure, allowing for the secure and stable placement of dental implants in that area.
Why Are These Procedures Performed in Panama?
Many patients in Panama seek permanent solutions for tooth loss, and bone grafts along with sinus lifts are an essential part of implant treatment. At Dental One:
We use high-quality biomaterials and minimally invasive techniques.
We employ 3D imaging for precise planning (CBCT scans).
The procedure is performed in modern facilities within Town Center, Costa del Este.
When Is a Bone Graft or Sinus Lift Needed?
You may need one or both treatments if:
You lost a tooth a long time ago, and the bone has resorbed.
You have advanced periodontal disease with bone loss.
You want a dental implant but lack sufficient bone.
Your sinus cavity is too low, preventing upper implant placement.
How Is the Bone Graft and Sinus Lift Procedure Performed in Panama?
Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation: A CBCT scan is taken to measure available bone.
Personalized Planning: The dentist determines whether a graft, sinus lift, or both are needed.
Procedure: Under local anesthesia, the graft is placed using autologous, synthetic, or donor bone. If necessary, the sinus is lifted.
Healing Time: It may take 4 to 6 months before the implant can be placed.
