Elevating the Sinus Floor
Sinus floor elevation—also known as sinus lift or augmentation—is a specialized procedure performed when there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw for dental implant placement, particularly in the area of the molars and premolars.
We use precise techniques and advanced tools to gently lift the sinus membrane and encourage bone regeneration, paving the way for long-lasting implant success.
– Diagnostic imaging and bone scans to assess sinus anatomy and bone volume
– Customized treatment strategy tailored to individual needs
– Small opening created in the bone near the sinus floor
– Gentle, controlled elevation of the sinus membrane
– Placement of bone graft material into the lifted area
– Graft supports new bone formation and future implant stability
– 4–9 month healing period depending on graft size and biology
– New bone forms in the grafted area, increasing ridge height
– Once healed, implant placement can proceed safely and predictably
– Final restorations follow once osseointegration is complete
