Sinus Lift Surgery

Sinus Lift Surgery
Sinus lift surgery is a preparatory procedure used to increase bone height in the upper jaw, specifically in the molar and premolar regions, to make room for dental implants. It involves lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material into the space to support future implants.

This procedure is often necessary when the natural bone has resorbed due to tooth loss, periodontal disease, or aging. It ensures that the jawbone has sufficient volume and density to securely anchor implants in the posterior upper jaw.

A sinus lift is typically performed several months before implant placement, allowing the grafted area to heal and integrate properly with the existing bone structure.
