Sinus LIft
Creating the bone support needed for successful implant treatment
In the upper back jaw, bone loss and the natural position of the sinus can sometimes limit the amount of bone available for dental implants. A sinus lift procedure helps create additional space and bone support in this area.
The treatment involves gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone grafting material beneath it to encourage natural bone regeneration. Over time, the area heals and develops stronger bone volume suitable for implant placement.
Sinus lift treatment is commonly recommended for patients who have experienced bone loss following tooth loss or long-term dental issues and would like to proceed with implant treatment safely and predictably.
Book Your Consultation
If you have been advised that you may require a sinus lift before implant treatment, our team can assess your suitability and discuss your options.
WHY IS A SINUS LIFT IMPORTANT?
Creates support for dental implants – Increases bone height in the upper jaw for stable implant placement.
Restores lost bone volume – Helps rebuild areas affected by bone loss following tooth loss.
Improves long-term implant success – Provides a stronger foundation for implant treatment.
Encourages natural bone regeneration – Supports healthy healing and bone development.

frequently asked questions
What is a sinus lift?
A sinus lift is a procedure that increases bone height in the upper jaw to support dental implants.
Why would I need a sinus lift?
It may be recommended when there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw for safe implant placement.
Is sinus lift treatment painful?
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
How long does healing take?
Healing times vary, but several months may be needed before implants can be placed.
Is a sinus lift safe?
Yes – sinus lift procedures are well-established and commonly performed in implant dentistry.
Can I have implants immediately after a sinus lift?
In some cases implants may be placed at the same time, although this depends on bone levels and stability.
