What Are Sinus Lifts?


A sinus lift is a type of bone grafting procedure that is performed on the upper jaw. The most common reason for a sinus lift is to ensure that the jaw can provide a stable base of support needed for dental implants after bone loss has occurred.

During a sinus lift, bone grafting material is placed into the floor of your sinus. Over the course of several months, the bone graft becomes part of your upper jaw, augmenting it and giving it the support needed for dental implant placement.


Benefits of Sinus Lifts


The benefits of sinus lifts include:

  • Rebuilding jawbone to support dental implants
  • Allowing patients to get dental implants when they previously had no option other than wearing dentures

Are You a Good Candidate for a Sinus Lift?


You are a good candidate for a sinus lift if you’re a good candidate for dental implants but do not have the adequate jawbone mass needed to support them.
