Sinus Lift Procedures
A grafting procedure adding bone height to the back of the upper jaw by gently raising the sinus membrane and placing graft material beneath it, creating room for secure implants where upper molars are missing.
CBCT imaging measures remaining bone and sinus anatomy; the surgeon uses a minimally invasive crestal approach through the implant site, or a lateral-window approach for larger lifts; membrane is elevated, graft/PRF placed, and implants inserted same-day when enough native bone exists.
Patients missing upper premolars/molars whose sinuses expanded downward after tooth loss, leaving too little bone height.
- Makes upper back-jaw implants possible and predictable
- Often combined with implant placement in one surgery
- Minimally invasive crestal technique available in suitable cases
- PRF reduces swelling/speeds recovery.
CBCT 3D scanning maps sinus anatomy, septa, and membrane thickness in advance, letting the surgeon choose the gentlest effective approach.
