In cases where there is not enough bone to do an implant, a dental sinus lift can provide an alternative solution. It will help create sufficient bone under the sinus to place the required dental implants in their right position.

Sinus lift surgery has a very impressive success rate of over 90%. However, the long recovery period and discomfort that follows a sinus surgery are some of the few downsides of a sinus surgery.

As a dentist, it is important to advise patients on what they can and cannot do after sinus surgery to avoid undoing all the good work that has been done. One of the most important things to remember is that patients should avoid bearing down or applying too much pressure to the area.

Some common actions or activities to refrain from include:

• Coughing or sneezing with your mouth closed
• Lifting heavy objects (they cause you to bear down)
• Blowing balloons or musical instruments

However, the good thing is that a full recovery is possible, so patients will be able to return to their previous activities after some time has passed.

In about 20% to 25% of dental sinus lift patients, a complication known as the piercing of the Schneiderian membrane on the lower part of the maxillary sinus can occur. It has also been reported to happen in as much as 40% of such surgeries. 

This is one of the things a dental practitioner will have to look out for when it comes to this kind of operation. There are certain signs to look out for that will tell you that the sinus lift was unsuccessful, such as a fever or swelling that increases after a couple of days.

Comprehensive sinus lift kits, available on WholeDent, often include all necessary instruments such as sinus lift elevators, osteotomes, curettes, graft carriers, and membrane lifters, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness during the procedure. Suction devices maintain a clear surgical field, and traditional surgical handpieces and burs are used for specific steps. 

These tools collectively ensure a precise, safe, and effective sinus lift procedure, minimizing complications and enhancing patient outcomes. Investing in premium instruments from WholeDent is crucial for any dental practice performing sinus lifts.
