Sinus Lifts
Upper Jaw Augmentation

Sinus Lifts

Sinus augmentation creates the bone height needed in the upper jaw for secure implant placement. A critical procedure for patients with insufficient posterior maxillary bone.

Schedule Consultation

Lateral Window Approach

For significant bone height requirements. Allows large volumes of graft material for maximum augmentation.

Crestal Approach

A minimally invasive technique for moderate augmentation, often done simultaneously with implant placement.

Predictable Outcomes

Sinus lifts are one of the most well-documented and predictable augmentation procedures in implant dentistry.

Step by Step

Your Treatment Journey

1

CBCT Analysis

3D imaging measures the available bone height and sinus anatomy to plan the optimal approach.

2

Sinus Augmentation

The sinus membrane is carefully elevated and bone graft material is placed beneath it.

3

Maturation

6-9 months for the graft to integrate and form solid bone ready for implants.

4

Implant Placement

Implants are placed into the newly formed bone with confidence.

Common Questions

Why do I need a sinus lift?
When upper back teeth are lost, the sinus naturally expands downward, leaving insufficient bone height for implants. A sinus lift rebuilds this bone.
Is a sinus lift safe?
Yes. It's one of the most predictable procedures in implant surgery with success rates exceeding 95%. Dr. Weisenberg has extensive training in this technique.
Can implants be placed at the same time?
If there is 4-5mm of native bone height, a crestal approach may allow simultaneous implant placement. Otherwise, the graft matures first.
