An external (lateral window) sinus lift procedure is performed by creating an access hole from the side of the sinus cavity intraorally and carefully elevating or lifting of the sinus or schneiderian membrane. Once lifted, a mixture of autogenous bone (autograft) along with bone substitute material (BSM) is placed under

An external (lateral window) sinus lift procedure is performed followed by the placement of bone grafting material. Next, a dental implant along with the restorative components (implant abutment and crown) are placed to complete the overall treatment for this particular implant site.

A sinus lift is performed through a “lateral window” created at the level of the sinus cavity. The sinus or schneiderian membrane is then elevated and bone grafting material is added to the area of the proposed dental implant site. The dental implant is then placed and allowed to heal.

The area in the posterior quadrant have 2 missing molars and 2 broken, non-restorable premolars which are extracted. Next, 4 dental implants are then immediately placed and eventually restored with a posterior oral prosthesis. The ideal space catered for the 4 natural size teeth at this site is limited since

A tooth with severe decay is extracted and a dental implant is immediately placed. The site is finally restored with a dental implant crown. The space of the extraction site has closed over time due to the severe decay of the tooth so therefore the size (interdental space or “lenght”)

This patient has been missing most of his upper teeth for many years now and as a result does not have an adequate amount of bone for dental implants to fulfill the criteria of a full-arch implant prosthesis. Therefore, bilateral sinus lifts or sinus elevations, ridge splitting procedures, and bone
