Sinus Lift

A surgical bone-building procedure that helps create stronger upper-jaw support for future or concurrent dental implant placement.

Upper Jaw Bone Support

Create the foundation needed for confident dental implant planning.

A sinus lift may be recommended when the upper jaw does not have enough bone height to support dental implants. The procedure adds donor tissue beneath the maxillary sinus area to strengthen the bone structure and improve implant support.

Implant preparation

A sinus graft can be completed before implant placement or sometimes during the same treatment phase.

Bone support

The goal is to create adequate, sturdy bone in the upper jaw.

Personal timing

The approach depends on your anatomy, bone density, and implant needs.

Did You Know? The maxillary sinus can make upper implant placement more complex.

The service page explains that a large sinus cavity may leave insufficient bone for secure implant placement, making grafting helpful for selected patients.
