Why sinus lifts are important for implants
When bone loss occurs in the upper jaw, it can make implant placement challenging or even impossible without additional preparation. A sinus lift increases the amount of bone available by gently raising the sinus floor and placing grafting material to encourage new growth.
This procedure not only creates a stable base for implants but also improves the long-term health of your jawbone. Acting proactively with a sinus lift helps prevent implant failure and ensures a secure, lasting fit for your replacement teeth.
The sinus lift process explained
- Detailed Consultation: We use advanced imaging to evaluate your jaw and sinus structure, determining the best approach for your needs.
- Custom Treatment Plan: Your procedure is tailored to your unique anatomy and implant goals, ensuring the best results.
- Surgical Precision: Using minimally invasive techniques, we carefully lift the sinus membrane and place grafting material to stimulate bone growth.
- Recovery & Support: We provide clear aftercare instructions and follow-up visits to monitor healing and prepare for implant placement.

Sinus lift FAQs
Is a sinus lift painful?
The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for added comfort. Most patients experience mild soreness afterward, which subsides within a few days.
How long does it take to heal?
Healing typically takes 4-6 months as the graft material integrates with your natural bone. This process ensures a stable foundation for dental implants.
Am I a candidate for a sinus lift?
If you’ve experienced bone loss in your upper jaw or your sinus cavity is too close to the implant site, you may benefit from a dental sinus lift. Our team will assess your case during your consultation.
Will my insurance cover a sinus lift?
Many insurance plans provide coverage for sinus lift surgery, especially when it’s required for dental implant placement. Our team will help you understand your benefits and payment options.
How soon can I get implants after a sinus lift?
Once the graft material fully integrates, implants can typically be placed within 4-6 months. Your dentist will monitor your healing to determine the best timing.
