What is Sinus Lifting?
The maxillary sinuses are air-filled cavities located above the upper back teeth and near the cheek area. When these upper back teeth are lost, bone volume in the area may decrease due to the sinus cavities expanding downward. This bone loss can cause difficulties for implant placement due to insufficient bone support.
Sinus lifting is a common bone augmentation procedure that increases bone tissue in these areas to enable successful and long-lasting implant treatment. It encourages new bone growth where bone is deficient, especially in the upper jaw’s posterior region.

Before & After
Outstanding Results, Creating Beautiful Smiles
Sinus elevation surgery is typically done under local anesthesia in a dental clinic. The sinus membrane is gently lifted upwards, and bone graft material is placed into the space created. Over about 6 months, this graft fuses with the existing jawbone, preparing the site for implant placement.

- Avoid eating for 2 hours post-operation
- Refrain from smoking and alcohol until the wound heals
- Take prescribed antibiotics regularly and apply ice externally to reduce swelling
