Sinus-lifting in Clinica Dental Raices
About the clinic
Sinus lifting at Clinica Dental Raices in Los Gigantes, Spain, provides a foundation for dental implants when the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone. This boutique clinic uses 3D-guided planning and tailored surgical techniques to prepare patients for permanent tooth replacement. The procedure is a routine part of implant dentistry in Tenerife, known for its focus on precision and patient comfort.
Advanced Sinus Augmentation Techniques
The dental team performs two types of sinus lifting based on the specific needs of the patient's bone structure. These methods help create enough space and stability for future implants.
- Internal Sinus Lift: This method is used when the jaw needs 1–3 mm of additional bone. In many cases, the doctor can place the dental implant on the same day as this procedure.
- External Sinus Lift: Also known as a lateral lift, this is necessary when the natural bone is very thin. It involves a longer recovery to let the new bone mature properly.
3D Technology and Treatment Planning
Precision is a core focus at the clinic. The team uses cone beam computed tomography, or CBCT, to map the jaw in three dimensions. This scan allows the dentist to evaluate bone density and locate sinus cavities with high accuracy. Digital planning helps the surgeon choose the best approach before the surgery begins, which helps make the treatment more predictable.
Recovery and Timeline
The timeline for a sinus lift depends on the technique used and the individual’s healing speed. For an external lift, the bone usually needs 4–6 months to become strong enough for an implant. During this time, the new bone material integrates with the jaw. Clinica Dental Raices provides a boutique setting in Tenerife, allowing patients to recover in a calm environment.
If you are considering dental implants but have been told you need more bone, you can request a consultation through Bookimed to learn about your options.
