Sinus Lift in Stockholm – Advanced Bone Grafting for Dental Implants at Gloss & Floss

Are you considering dental implants but have been told you lack enough bone in your upper jaw? At Gloss & Floss Dental Care® in Södermalm, we are experts in sinus lift surgery—a safe, advanced procedure that creates the strong foundation needed for long-lasting, secure dental implants.

What Is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift (sinus augmentation) is an oral surgery that increases bone height and density in the upper jaw by gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material beneath it. This procedure is essential for patients whose natural bone has diminished due to missing teeth, gum disease, natural aging, or anatomical variation.

Who Needs a Sinus Lift?

Patients missing upper back teeth for a long time
Those with bone loss from gum disease or infection
Individuals with naturally low-lying sinus cavities
Anyone told they lack sufficient bone for dental implants in the upper jaw

A sinus lift makes it possible to place implants where it would otherwise be impossible, restoring your smile, chewing function, and confidence.

Types of Bone Graft Materials

At Gloss & Floss, we choose the graft material that best fits your clinical needs. Bone can come from:

Your own body (autograft—often from the jaw or hip)
A human donor (allograft)
An animal source, usually bovine (xenograft)
Fully synthetic materials (alloplast)

We always discuss your options and recommend the safest, most effective solution for your specific case.

How Does the Sinus Lift Procedure Work?

Consultation & Planning: We use digital imaging to assess your jaw and sinuses, explain your options, and answer your questions.
Local Anesthesia: The area is numbed to ensure a pain-free experience. Sedation is available if desired.
Access & Lifting: A small incision is made in the gum. The sinus membrane is gently lifted upward.
Bone Grafting: The selected graft material is placed in the new space beneath the sinus membrane to encourage new bone growth.
Healing: The area is closed and allowed to heal for several months. During this time, your body integrates the graft to create strong, new bone.
Implant Placement: Once healed, your dental implant can be securely placed for a long-lasting result.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Sinus Lift

Before: Comprehensive consultation, digital scans, and a personalized treatment plan.
During: Gentle, precise surgery in a comfortable setting. Most patients experience minimal discomfort.
After: Detailed aftercare instructions, support for pain management, and regular follow-up visits to ensure successful healing.

As with any surgery, there are risks, but complications are rare. Our experienced surgeons use advanced methods to minimize risks and ensure safety.
