Sinus Lift Surgery for Dental Implants

The upper back jaw is traditionally one of the most difficult areas to place dental implants due to insufficient bone height and the proximity to the sinus.

How a Sinus Lift Helps

A sinus lift (sinus augmentation) adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. By gently lifting the sinus floor and placing bone grafting material, we create a solid foundation of bone. After a healing period, this new bone becomes part of your jaw, allowing for the successful placement of dental implants that will last for years.

Contact us for an appointment to discuss how sinus lifts can help make sure your dental implants will last for the long term. We perform dental implant surgery too, so you can rest assured your procedures will be fully coordinated to provide you with optimal results.
