Sometimes when placing implants, a person’s sinus is “in the way” and prevents the implants from simply being placed.  While that may be an initial set back, it does not mean that implants are not possible.

The sinus lift procedure is simply that, lifting the sinus.  In many situations, the sinus can be “bumped” at the time the implant is placed.  This requires extra steps and materials, but is pretty straightforward.  in the case where there is very little bone and very large sinuses, a much more involved and phased method is used.

If you would like to replace missing teeth and have been told your sinuses present a problem, Dr Timmerman would love to help.  Call 206-241-5533!
