Have you been told "there isn't enough bone for a standard implant" while looking into implants for your upper back teeth at Now dental clinic near Busan-pyeong Market Station? At Now dental clinic in the vicinity of Busan-pyeong Market Station, under the supervision of an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist, it is possible to provide bone graft implant treatment accompanied by sinus lift surgery. This is not uniformly applied to all patients, but rather individual treatment directions are determined after confirming alveolar bone height and density status through 3D CT precision diagnosis.
Can You Get Sinus Lift Implants Around Busan-pyeong Market Station?
Sinus lift surgery is a procedure performed when there is insufficient bone height to place an implant in the upper back teeth area. It may become necessary when teeth have been neglected for a long time, alveolar bone is congenitally thin, or the sinus has descended and space has been reduced after tooth extraction.
According to PharmNews, if the alveolar bone height is insufficient during upper back teeth implant surgery, sinus lift must be accompanied, and additional PharmNews reporting mentions that since the procedure is a high-difficulty technique, the surgeon's experience and expertise have a direct impact on the surgical outcome.
Therefore, to the question "Can I get it in my neighborhood?" it is important to confirm not only the region, but also which specialist diagnoses and performs the procedure. We provide guidance for those who want to consult directly with an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist near Busan-pyeong Market Station and establish a treatment plan.
What is Sinus Lift Surgery? What You Must Know Before Upper Back Teeth Implants
According to HiDoc, sinus lift surgery is a procedure that lifts the sinus membrane upward in the upper back teeth area when there is insufficient jaw bone, fills that space with artificial bone, and creates an environment for placing implants.
Main indications are as follows:
▪ Alveolar bone height is 6mm or lower
▪ Bone resorption has progressed after long-term neglect following tooth loss
▪ Sinus is congenitally positioned low or alveolar bone is congenitally thin
Surgical methods are divided into two main types:
▪ Alveolar crest approach (internal approach): A method of lifting the sinus membrane directly from the implant placement site. Applied when there is some residual bone remaining.
▪ Lateral approach (external approach): A method of accessing broadly through the side when bone is severely deficient. According to related clinical data, in this case, stepwise treatment may be necessary, with a stabilization period of 3 to 6 months or more after bone grafting before implant placement.
Which method is appropriate depends on the patient's current bone condition, and it is difficult to determine in advance without 3D CT precision diagnosis. Rather than giving up simply because you've heard "there isn't enough bone," it is better to first get an accurate diagnosis.
Why Now dental clinic Performs Sinus Lift Implants Together
Sinus lift surgery is a high-difficulty surgical technique that deals with major anatomical structures such as the sinus membrane, nerves, and blood vessels. HiDoc data also recommends that sinus lift surgery be performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist for safety, and related treatment guidance recommends consulting thoroughly before treatment since attention to major anatomical structures is necessary.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists undergo a training process of 1 year internship and 3 years of residency, professionally handling all surgical techniques including implants, bone grafting, and sinus lift surgery. Additionally, according to PharmNews data, it is recommended to accurately understand sinus shape and residual alveolar bone status through 3D CT precision diagnosis and establish a treatment plan.
Now dental clinic has a resident oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist and carefully provides treatment throughout the entire process from 3D digital diagnosis to bone graft implants and sinus lift surgery. For those with anxiety about dental treatment, consciousness sedation (sleep treatment) can be applied to all treatment procedures.
The treatment flow at Now dental clinic proceeds as follows:
▪ 3D CT imaging and precision analysis of alveolar bone height and density
▪ Diagnosis of sinus lift surgery suitability by an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist
▪ Decision on approach method (alveolar crest vs. lateral) and establishment of treatment schedule
▪ Proceeding with bone grafting and sinus lift surgery (consciousness sedation applied if necessary)
▪ Implant placement and aftercare following stabilization period
This Works Well for You — Self-Check for Sinus Lift Implant
If any of the items below apply to you, it is necessary to check whether sinus lift surgery is appropriate.
▪ Lost upper back teeth a long time ago and neglected for an extended period
▪ Previously heard "you don't have enough bone" during implant consultation
▪ Attempted upper back teeth implants but were informed the procedure itself was difficult
▪ Diagnosed with congenitally thin alveolar bone or low sinus position
▪ Told that dental procedures require caution due to systemic health conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure, or osteoporosis
According to PharmNews data, as time passes after tooth loss, the sinus descends and alveolar bone decreases irreversibly. DentalArirang data also mentions that the choice of approach method for sinus lift surgery and whether surgery is possible can vary depending on systemic conditions such as diabetes and osteoporosis. Therefore, precision diagnosis considering bone condition, systemic health, and sinusitis status must be performed first.

Suitability for the procedure is determined after consultation
Consult with Peace of Mind. We'll Look at It Together.
We recommend that you come to Now dental clinic and carefully confirm your current bone status and implant feasibility together with an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist. Please consult with peace of mind. We'll look at it together.
Sinus lift surgery is most important to find a method suited to you through sufficient consultation and precision diagnosis. PharmNews data also emphasizes that the surgeon's experience and expertise, use of genuine materials, and thorough aftercare management systems have a significant impact on surgical outcomes.
If you have significant anxiety about dental treatment, it also helps to confirm whether consciousness sedation (sleep treatment) can be applied. At Now dental clinic, consciousness sedation can be applied throughout the entire treatment process, so even those with high tension can receive high-difficulty procedures more comfortably.
Don't give up on upper back teeth implants based solely on the phrase "you don't have enough bone." First confirm your exact condition through 3D CT precision diagnosis.
You're Probably Wondering About This
Q1. If I get sinus lift surgery, how long until the implant?
There is a difference depending on bone condition. If there is some residual bone remaining, sinus lift and implant placement can be performed on the same day, but if bone is significantly deficient, a stabilization period of 3 to 6 months or more may be necessary after bone grafting. It is most accurate to confirm the schedule with your attending specialist after precision diagnosis.
Q2. Sinus lift surgery frightens me, can I also get it with sleep (consciousness sedation)?
At Now dental clinic, consciousness sedation (sleep treatment) can be applied throughout all treatment procedures. Consciousness sedation is different from complete general anesthesia; consciousness is maintained but anxiety and pain are significantly reduced during the procedure. Even those with dental phobia can start comfortably from consultation.
Q3. How are bone graft implants and sinus lift surgery different?
Bone graft implants involve grafting artificial bone to reinforce areas where bone is deficient at the implant placement site, while sinus lift surgery is a method of lifting the sinus membrane to secure that space in the upper back teeth area. Since bone grafting occurs together during sinus lift surgery, these two procedures are related, and can be understood as a difference in location and method.
Q4. It's an upper back tooth implant, how do I know if sinus lift surgery is really necessary?
It can only be determined by taking 3D CT imaging to accurately confirm residual alveolar bone height and sinus position. Accurate bone condition is difficult to determine with visual examination or general X-ray alone. Even if you previously heard "you don't have enough bone" at another dental clinic, it is good to recheck the feasibility and method of treatment after precision diagnosis.
