What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. The sinus membrane is gently lifted to create space for the additional bone. This procedure is typically necessary when the natural bone in the upper jaw is insufficient to support dental implants due to bone loss or the proximity of the sinuses.
Why Is a Sinus Lift Necessary?
In some cases, the upper jaw does not have enough bone height to support dental implants. This can be due to natural variations in anatomy, bone loss from periodontal disease, or the resorption of bone that occurs after tooth loss. A sinus lift creates the necessary space for bone grafting, allowing for the successful placement of implants.

Healing time varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and your individual healing response. Most patients require several months for the bone graft to fully integrate with the natural bone before dental implants can be placed.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with sinus lifting, including infection, sinus membrane perforation, or complications related to the bone graft. Our team will discuss these risks with you and take steps to minimize them.
In most cases, a healing period of several months is necessary after a sinus lift before implants can be placed. However, in some cases where sufficient bone is already present, implants may be placed simultaneously with the sinus lift. We will determine the best approach for your situation during your consultation.
