What Is a Sinus Lift, and When Do You Need One?

A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. This treatment becomes necessary when there isn’t enough natural bone to support dental implants. You might need a sinus lift if you:

- Have lost bone due to gum disease or missing teeth.
- Require implants in the upper jaw near the sinus cavity.
- Experience bone loss from trauma or prolonged tooth loss.

This specialized oral surgery helps create a stable and durable base for dental implants, improving long-term results.
