What is a Sinus Lift?
What is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift, also known as sinus elevation or sinus augmentation, is a highly effective procedure aimed at addressing bone loss or deficiencies in the upper rear jaw. This area can present challenges for dental implant placement due to insufficient bone volume and its proximity to the sinus cavities.
The sinuses are air-filled spaces located above the back part of your upper jaw. Encased in a membrane, they resemble a balloon in structure, often changing shape following tooth loss.
If you’ve experienced bone loss in the rear section of your jaw due to factors such as periodontal disease, tooth extractions, or extended use of dentures, you may not have enough bone to securely support dental implants. A sinus lift procedure works by raising the sinus floor to create additional bone space, ensuring the necessary foundation for the successful placement of dental implants.
What Does a Sinus Lift Procedure Involve?
What Does a Sinus Lift Procedure Involve?
During your initial consultation, X-rays and a CT scan are utilised to identify areas with inadequate bone and to carefully map out crucial structures such as nerves and blood vessels, which must be avoided during surgery.
Several techniques can be employed to lift the sinus and promote new bone growth. Typically, a bone graft material is used to support the sinus membrane in its elevated position.
- This membrane is gently lifted to create additional space within the jawbone.
- The space created is filled with bone graft material, and the gum is then sutured back into place to allow for healing.
- The procedure begins with the administration of either local or general anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout.
- Once anaesthesia takes effect, a small incision is made in the gums to expose the underlying bone.
- A precise opening is then created in the bone to access the membrane separating your sinus cavities from your jawbone.
The timing for placing dental implants can vary; they may be inserted during the same procedure or after a healing period, allowing the new bone to integrate, depending on your specific treatment needs.

Recovery After a Sinus lift
Recovery After a Sinus lift
During your recovery from a sinus lift, it’s normal to experience some side effects, though any discomfort should be minimal. Common symptoms include swelling of the gums, tenderness in the affected area, and possibly minor bleeding from the gums or nose.
A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled about a week after your surgery, during which your dentist will check your healing progress and remove any stitches that haven’t dissolved.
The bone graft usually requires a healing period of 4 to 9 months before dental implants can be placed, allowing the bone to fully integrate into its new position. The exact waiting time depends on the type of graft material used. In some cases, it’s possible to place the implant at the same time as the sinus lift, which can be discussed prior to your procedure.
