Sinus Lifts
Creating support for confident, permanent smiles
Rebuilding Bone for Stronger, Long-Lasting Dental Implants
When upper back teeth are missing, the bone in that area often thins or shrinks over time — making it difficult to safely place dental implants. A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized procedure that gently adds bone to the upper jaw, creating the solid foundation needed for successful implant placement.
At Foreon Dental & Implant Studio, we use advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques to perform sinus lifts with precision and comfort, helping you achieve long-term implant success and lasting oral health.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is a minor surgical procedure that increases bone height in the upper jaw, specifically near the molar and premolar areas.
During the treatment, the sinus membrane is carefully lifted upward, and bone grafting material is placed beneath it. Over time, this new bone integrates naturally with your existing bone structure — strengthening the area and preparing it to securely hold a dental implant.
Who Needs a Sinus Lift?
You may benefit from a sinus lift if you:
Have been missing upper teeth for a long time and lost bone volume
Experienced bone loss due to periodontal (gum) disease
Have naturally large sinuses positioned close to the upper jaw
Need dental implants in the upper posterior (back) region but lack enough bone support
This procedure ensures your implants have a stable and durable foundation, reducing the risk of implant failure and restoring the strength of your bite.
The Sinus Lift Procedure: Step by Step
We take a gentle, patient-centered approach to every procedure:
Comprehensive Evaluation
Using 3D cone-beam CT scans, our team evaluates your bone density and sinus anatomy to plan a safe and effective treatment.Local Anesthesia & Preparation
The area is fully numbed to ensure comfort. A small opening is created in the upper gum tissue to access the bone near the sinus.Lifting the Sinus Membrane
The sinus membrane is gently elevated, creating space for bone graft material.Bone Graft Placement
A biocompatible grafting material is placed beneath the membrane to stimulate new bone growth.Healing & Integration
Over the next 4–9 months, the graft fuses naturally with your existing bone, providing a strong, stable base for your future dental implant.Implant Placement
Once the bone has healed, your dental implant can be placed with precision for lasting, natural results.
Benefits of a Sinus Lift

Aftercare and Recovery
Most patients experience only mild discomfort for a few days after the procedure. You’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions, including guidance on:
Avoiding sinus pressure (no blowing your nose or sneezing forcefully)
Eating soft foods for the first few days
Taking prescribed medications as directed
Regular check-ups allow us to monitor healing and prepare for the next step toward your dental implant.
