Sinus Lift
Sinus lift or sinus elevation is a surgical procedure where we raise the membrane and place bone graft material to achieve bone elongation in order to then allow implant placement in the maxilla.
Under certain circumstances, the dental surgeon can achieve the lifting of the sinus simultaneously with the implant placement.
In other cases, augmentation of the sinus and implant placement take place in 2 different stages after the bone tissue graft has been assimilated.

What is a sinus lift?
A sinus lift is essentially a bone transplant. You're repurposing a bone from another location in your upper jaw.
Firstly, your dental surgeon will study the anatomy of your jaw and sinus with considerable attention. Then, the procedure will begin once the dental surgeon and you have decided which bone to utilize.
It is a simple and painless treatment. You will undergo the procedure at the dental clinic. Furthemore, it takes anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours to complete the operation.
The dental implant is an artificial dental root. It is made of titanium, which is a biocompatible material.
