Prolonged tooth loss leads to significant jaw deterioration, particularly in the upper jaw. A sinus lift procedure addresses this challenge by elevating the upper sinus ridge and creating space for bone regeneration.
This strategic intervention introduces specialized bone material to replenish lost density, ultimately strengthening the jaw’s structural integrity.
The process transforms a weakened area into a robust foundation capable of supporting dental implants. It effectively reverses years of bone loss.
Advanced diagnostic technologies like 3-D CT scanners and digital X-rays guide the sinus lift procedure with remarkable accuracy. Our team prioritizes patient comfort, explaining every step in the process to you.
Your dentist carefully crafts a personalized treatment plan, addressing your unique dental needs. Following the sinus lift, a strategic healing period enables your body to naturally integrate the bone material. This sets the stage for successful dental implant placement.

A sinus lift is a type of bone graft for the upper jaw. It is used when the upper jaw isn’t deep enough to support dental implants. We will raise the floor of the sinuses and insert bone material in the space so that new bone will grow there. In a few months, there will be sufficient bone to support your implants and replacement teeth.
As with other oral surgery procedures, we’ll numb your mouth with local anesthesia. Following the procedure, you may experience some bleeding and/or swelling. Most patients experience mild discomfort only and for no more than a few days. We’ll provide you with an antibiotic to prevent infection and can also suggest medication to relieve pain.
It is necessary to perform a sinus lift if a patient needs upper implants, but their upper jaw is not strong or thick enough to support them. Additionally, the sinus membrane is often in the way of implants. A sinus lift moves the sinuses up and makes room for added bone material that will help strengthen the jawbone. In a few months, the upper jaw will be ready for implants.
