Sinus lift surgery is a form of bone augmentation, whereby bone is added below your sinuses, moving or lifting your sinus tissue in the process to accommodate the new bone. After several months, the bone will have developed sufficiently to accommodate dental implants, ensuring that your jaw has strong foundations to support new teeth.

There are various reasons why sinus augmentation may be necessary for certain patients. Sinus shapes and sizes can differ greatly between individuals. What’s more, the upper jaw has less bone than the lower one; the positioning of your sinuses could mean that your bone height is insufficient for implants.

Tooth loss, gum disease, injuries and wearing dentures can all lead to a deterioration in bone volume over time. Therefore, many patients who have had previous problems with their dental health tend to have a higher chance of requiring sinus lifts than others.
