Overview
A sinus lift adds bone beneath the sinus in the upper jaw, where natural bone is often too thin for implants. It gently raises the sinus membrane and places graft material, making implants possible at the back of the upper jaw.
Benefits
- Enables implants in the upper back jaw
- Adds height to thin sinus-area bone
- A routine, predictable procedure
- Restores full chewing on both sides
How it works
- 1
CT planning
Imaging measures the available bone and the sinus position.
- 2
Sinus access
The sinus membrane is carefully lifted under local anaesthetic.
- 3
Graft placement
Bone graft is added to create the height needed for an implant.
- 4
Healing & implant
After healing, implants are placed into the new bone.
Aftercare & long-term tips

First 24 hours
Stick to soft, lukewarm foods and drinks; avoid very hot or hard items while any numbness or sensitivity settles.

Do

- Keep the area clean and rinse as advised
Avoid
