Sinus Lift

Sinus lift is a surgical procedure which aims to increase the amount of bone between the root of upper premolars and molars and the floor of the maxillary sinus. This procedure is done to ensure thick adequate amount of bone to support an implant. This procedure is performed by surgeon or dental specialist in the clinic under local anesthesia.

Sinus lift procedure:

• Cut incision at the premolar area
• Raise the tissue to expose the bone
• A small window is opened in the bone
• Gently pushing the sinus membrane up and away from the jaw bone
• Packing the bone-graft into the space where the sinus was
• Stitching the tissue
• Placement of implant after four to six months
