Sinus Lift
A sinus lift adds bone to the upper jaw to create sufficient height for dental implants, enabling implant placement where it would otherwise not be possible.
Why It Matters
Benefits of Sinus Lift
Enables implant placement in the upper jaw when bone height is insufficient
Creates a stable, long-term bone foundation for implants
Uses biocompatible graft materials that integrate naturally
Highly predictable outcomes when performed by an experienced team
Opens implant candidacy for patients with upper jaw bone loss
Can be combined with implant placement to reduce overall treatment time

Common Questions
Sinus Lift FAQ
How do I know if I need a sinus lift?
A CBCT scan will reveal whether your upper jawbone has sufficient height for an implant. If the sinus floor is too close, a sinus lift will be recommended before or during implant placement.
How long is recovery after a sinus lift?
Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for one to two weeks. Full bone integration takes several months, during which your dentist monitors progress.
Can a sinus lift and implant be placed at the same time?
In some cases, yes, when bone height is close to sufficient. In cases with significant bone deficit, the graft must heal completely before implant placement.
