Sinus Lifts

In the upper jaw (maxilla) are hollow air spaces commonly known as sinuses. Oftentimes, when upper back teeth and molars are lost the maxillary sinuses enlarge, limiting the placement of dental implants.

Sinus lift procedures involve bone grafting to raise the maxillary sinus, allowing us to place implants and replace missing upper back teeth. Sinus lifts and implant placement may, in some circumstances, be performed simultaneously, thereby minimizing the number of surgical procedures.
