Sinus Lift

What is a sinus lift used for?

A sinus lift is a procedure used to increase the amount of available bone in the posterior upper jaw. It is mainly performed when there is not enough bone to properly place dental implants.

When is a sinus lift necessary?

It may be recommended when tooth loss and bone resorption have left insufficient space between the upper jaw and the maxillary sinus. Imaging studies help the specialist determine whether additional bone is needed before or during implant placement.

Who performs a sinus lift?

The procedure may be performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, periodontist, or implant specialist with training in bone regeneration procedures. The appropriate specialist depends on the complexity of the case and the patient's individual needs.
