Sinus Lift
Dental sinus lift, also known as a sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure performed to increase the bone volume in the posterior maxilla (upper jaw) where the sinuses are located. This procedure involves lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material to create a stable foundation for dental implants.
Explore the advantages of dental sinus lifts. By enhancing bone volume in the upper jaw, sinus lifts enable successful implant placement and provide a solid foundation for long-term implant stability. This procedure opens up the possibility for individuals with limited bone height in the posterior maxilla to receive dental implants and restore their smiles.

Types of Sinus Lifts
Lateral Window Sinus Lift
- Approach: The lateral window sinus lift involves creating a lateral window in the side of the maxillary sinus, exposing the sinus membrane.
- Sinus Membrane Elevation: The sinus membrane is carefully lifted and pushed upward, creating a space between the membrane and the sinus floor.
- Bone Grafting: Bone graft material is then placed in the created space to promote new bone growth and augment the existing bone.
Crestal Sinus Lift
- Approach: The crestal sinus lift is a minimally invasive technique performed through the implant site itself.
- Our dentists use a series of drills to gradually elevate the sinus floor. Bone graft material is then inserted into the space created by the elevated sinus floor to stimulate bone growth and support dental implant placement
