Sinus Lift Surgery

Sinus lift surgery is recommended when there isn't enough bone in the upper jaw to support a dental implant in the premolar or molar region. Your surgeon accesses the maxillary sinus, lifts the sinus lining, and grafts the area with bone graft material to create a stable foundation for implant placement.

Yes — when there's already enough bone to keep the implant stable, the sinus lift and implant placement can sometimes be performed in the same procedure. Your surgeon will assess this during your consultation and imaging.

Some discomfort and swelling for a few days afterward is normal. You'll be prescribed a course of antibiotics and painkillers, and you're advised to stick to a soft diet while you recover.

This depends on the extent of bone grafting needed. In more extensive cases, the graft is given time to heal — up to six months — before implant surgery can go ahead.

Pricing depends on the extent of grafting required and whether it's combined with implant placement. Your surgeon will confirm exact costs after your free consultation and imaging.
