A sinus lift raises the sinus floor to make room for dental implants in the upper back jaw. This procedure adds bone height and strength where it’s naturally limited or lost due to tooth extractions.
We gently lift the sinus membrane and add bone material to increase vertical bone height in the upper jaw. This creates a secure foundation for implants in areas with limited natural bone due to tooth loss.
We perform sinus lifts when bone height is insufficient for implants. Using minimally invasive techniques, we create space and add bone in the upper jaw—giving you the strong foundation needed for implant success.
Sinus Lift
Lift sinus for successful upper jaw implant placement.
Sinus lifts are ideal for patients with insufficient upper jaw bone height who want dental implants. It’s perfect for restoring bone in the molar area, especially after long-term tooth loss, to allow for secure implant placement.
We numb the area and create a small opening in the gum to lift the sinus membrane. Graft material is added, then the site is closed. Recovery is typically smooth, with patients feeling minimal discomfort and ready for implants soon after.
A sinus lift procedure usually takes 60–90 minutes. Healing can take 4–6 months before implants are placed. Patients typically experience mild swelling for a few days and return to routine activities within a week.
Recovery from a sinus lift takes time, and blowing your nose or sneezing forcefully should be avoided in the first few days. We’ll provide full aftercare instructions and monitor your progress closely to ensure long-term success.
Swelling and minor bleeding are common for a few days. Avoid blowing your nose or sneezing forcefully. Stick to soft foods and keep the area clean. We’ll guide you through every stage of recovery and check healing before placing implants.
