Sinus Lift Surgery: Preparing Your Jaw for Dental Implants – Part 2

This is Part 2 of our continuous educational series on Sinus Lift Surgery: Preparing Your Jaw for Dental Implants.

Preparing Your Upper Jaw with a Sinus Lift

When planning dental implants, adequate bone support is critical. However, the upper jaw often lacks sufficient bone density due to sinus proximity. This is where a sinus lift procedure comes in, adding graft material to prepare the site.

A sinus lift gently raises the sinus membrane, placing bone graft material in the empty space below. For general clinical overviews of jaw bone preparation, refer to the Healthline Sinus Lift Guide.

Is a Sinus Lift Right for You?

Sinus lifts are commonly recommended for patients who have lost molars in their upper jaw or have experienced substantial bone resorption.
