Sinus Lift

For patients considering dental implants in the upper back jaw, a sinus lift may be an important first step to ensure long-lasting success. At our office, we perform sinus lift procedures to help create a strong and stable foundation for dental implants, especially when bone loss has occurred due to missing teeth or natural anatomy.

 

A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that gently raises the sinus membrane and adds bone material to the upper jaw. This added bone increases the height and density of the jawbone, allowing for the secure placement of dental implants later on. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia for your comfort, and most patients experience only mild discomfort during recovery.

 

Our experienced dental team will begin by evaluating your oral health and taking detailed digital images to plan the procedure precisely. Once your new bone integrates with your natural bone—usually over several months—you’ll be ready for implant placement.

 

If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implants, a sinus lift may be the key to restoring your smile.
