What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift (also called sinus augmentation) is a procedure that:
- Gently lifts the sinus membrane
- Adds bone material to the upper jaw
- Creates enough bone height to support dental implants
It is commonly required for implants placed in the upper back teeth, where the sinus cavity naturally limits bone volume.
Why a Sinus Lift May Be Needed for Dental Implants
Over time, the upper jaw can lose bone due to:
- Missing teeth
- Natural sinus expansion
- Gum disease
- Tooth extractions without bone preservation
Without adequate bone, implants may not be stable. A sinus lift restores the foundation needed for safe and long-lasting implant placement.
Signs You May Need a Sinus Lift
You may benefit from a sinus lift if you:
Need implants in the upper molar or premolar area
Have been missing upper teeth for many years
Were told you have “insufficient bone” for implants
Have bone loss from periodontal disease
A 3D scan will determine whether a sinus lift is necessary.

Sinus Lift & Bone Placement
The sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed.
