Sinus Augmentation

Sinus Augmentation

Here at Orland Dental Wellness Center, we provide dental treatments our patients need for a variety of conditions. One of the treatments we offer is sinus augmentation, also called sinus lift. This is often needed in patients that have lost their posterior teeth and therefore have pressure being placed on the teeth that are remaining. In some cases, they can get a dental implant to help with the problem, but if there is insufficient room for implants, a sinus augmentation procedure is performed.

Dr. Wook Kim uses the sinus augmentation procedure to reposition the sinus floor and create enough room for a dental implant. He uses grafting materials to allow the bone to grow more efficiently and at a faster pace, encouraging enough room and growth for an implant in this area of the mouth.

Sinus augmentation is a simple and routine procedure performed often in our dental practice. Patients that want to get a dental implant are encouraged to get the sinus augmentation so they have a chance at a permanent replacement. Visit us in Orland Park, IL to discuss getting the sinus augmentation before getting your dental implant.
