If you are pursuing dental implant placement in your upper jaw, your dentist will need to ensure you are a candidate for the procedure. Your dentist will begin with a thorough exam to determine if a sinus lift is needed. This procedure creates more space in the area and stronger bone to support implants. If it’s necessary, your dentist will use advanced 3-D imaging and digital X-rays to plan your treatment. Then, they will gently raise the sinus area and add bone material to create the proper foundation for implants.

A sinus lift is a type of bone graft that adds new bone to your upper jaw to make it strong enough to support dental implants. During the procedure, your dentist will place synthetic bone material in your upper jaw to promote the growth of new bone cells. The goal is to raise the floor of your sinuses to make room for new bone growth, hence the name “sinus lift.”
As with other oral surgery procedures, we’ll numb your mouth with local anesthesia. You can also choose to receive dental sedation. Following the procedure, you may experience some bleeding and/or swelling. Most patients experience mild discomfort only and for no more than a few days. We’ll provide you with an antibiotic to prevent infection and can also suggest medication to relieve pain.
The success rate of a sinus lift can ultimately depend on a number of factors. Your health and the condition of your jaw can both play big roles in how successful a sinus lift is. At our practice, the dentist performing your sinus lift will be well trained and experienced, giving you peace of mind about the success of your procedure.
