Sinus Lift Surgery

Our sinus lift procedure enables patients with insufficient upper jawbone to receive dental implants, restoring their smile with confidence. This specialized surgery, also called sinus augmentation, adds bone to the upper jaw near the molars and premolars when bone height is inadequate or the maxillary sinuses are too close to the jaw. Tooth loss, especially in the upper back teeth, often leads to bone resorption, as the body absorbs bone once teeth are missing. Periodontal disease can further reduce bone, and the maxillary sinuses, varying in size and enlarging with age, may leave too little space for implants. Our expert team uses advanced technology and personalized care to ensure a safe, effective procedure.

Using 3D cone-beam CT imaging, we assess your jawbone and sinuses to create a tailored treatment plan. During the procedure, performed under local anesthesia or sedation, our skilled oral surgeons make a small incision in the gum to lift the sinus membrane, placing bone graft material—synthetic, donor, or your own—into the created space. This graft promotes new bone growth, stabilizing the area for implants over 4–9 months. Our minimally invasive techniques and high-quality materials minimize discomfort and speed recovery, with detailed aftercare to support healing.

The sinus lift enables secure implant placement, enhancing chewing, speaking, and aesthetics while preventing further bone loss. It’s ideal for patients with bone loss from missing teeth, gum disease, or large sinuses, and those in good health who don’t smoke heavily. Feliche Dental Institute’s advanced tools and experienced professionals ensure a comfortable, successful experience, delivering a durable foundation for implants that transform your smile and oral health.
