Know What to Expect From Sinus Lift Surgery
During a sinus lift procedure, your oral surgeon will make a small opening in your gum tissue to access the bone below your sinus cavity. Using specialized instruments, they'll gently push the sinus membrane upward and place bone grafting material in the created space. This new bone will integrate with your existing jaw over several months.
The procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes under local anesthesia. While you may experience some swelling and mild discomfort, most patients manage well with over-the-counter pain medication and soon return to their normal routine.
Smile & Eat Comfortably Again
A sinus lift creates the perfect base for dental implants by building up bone in your upper jaw. Once healed, this stronger bone allows your implants to be placed securely, just like natural tooth roots. The result is replacement teeth that look, feel, and work just like your natural ones.
With your new implants anchored in the strengthened bone, you can bite, chew, and smile with complete confidence. You won't have to worry about dentures slipping or avoiding certain foods. Your new teeth will stay firmly in place, letting you enjoy life to the fullest.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sinus Lifts
What is a sinus lift?
A sinus lift is a type of bone graft for the upper jaw. It is used when the upper jaw isn't deep enough to support dental implants. We will raise the floor of the sinuses and insert bone material in the space so that new bone will grow there. In a few months, there will be sufficient bone to support your implants and replacement teeth.
Are sinus lifts painful?
We will work hard to ensure that your sinus lift is as comfortable as possible. Our team will completely numb the area we're working on so you don't feel any pain during your procedure. You can also take advantage of IV sedation so that you won't have any memory of your procedure.
Are sinus lifts safe?
Yes, sinus lifts are completely safe, especially in the skilled hands of our surgeons. We have performed this procedure many times, so you can rest assured we have the skills and expertise you want. The procedure itself simply adjusts your sinus cavity and adds bone material to a thin or weak upper jaw so you can get dental implants and new replacement teeth.
