Understanding Sinus Lift Surgery
Sinus lift surgery, also known as sinus augmentation, is a procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. It’s often necessary when there isn’t enough bone height in the upper jaw for dental implants. This can be due to bone loss from periodontal disease or the natural anatomy of the sinus cavity.

What to Expect During Your Sinus Lift Procedure
The procedure typically involves lifting the sinus membrane and placing a bone graft into the sinus floor. This bone will integrate over several months, providing a stable foundation for dental implants. Patients can expect a recovery period of about two weeks, with minimal discomfort.
