Sinus Lift
What is Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift restores bone loss caused by aging, tooth loss, or gum disease. This procedure increases the rate of implant success and help you achieve a natural, long-lasting smile with secure dental implants.
If you’re considering implants but might not have enough bone volume, then you might be a good candidate for sinus lift!
How Sinus Lift Work?
During your sinus lift procedure, our oral surgeon will carefully raise the sinus membrane through a small surgical opening in the upper jaw.
Then, bone grafting material is placed beneath the sinus to encourage natural bone regeneration.
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and is typically well tolerated by patients under sedation dentistry. Full bone healing can take several months, after which our oral surgeon can place dental implants with confidence.

Our oral surgery specialist, Dr. Kevin Brewer, provides expert care for complex procedures including sinus lifts, bone grafting, and dental implant placement.

Sinus Lift FAQ
Is a sinus lift painful?
No! The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and most patients experience only mild discomfort afterward. Our doctor may recommend additional sedation dentistry as needed for your dental needs.
How long is the recovery period?
Complete healing typically takes 4 to 9 months before dental implants can be placed. For some patients or complex smile journeys, healing can take longer.
Is the sinus lift procedure safe?
Yes! It’s a well-established and safe procedure with high success rates when performed by our licensed oral surgeon.
Will I need to take time off work?
Most patients take 1 to 2 days off. Light activities can usually be resumed quickly by following aftercare instructions carefully!
