Lateral Sinus Lift

A lateral sinus lift is a dental procedure used to add bone to the upper jaw, specifically in the area of the back teeth. This is often necessary when there isn’t enough bone to support dental implants, typically due to bone loss from tooth loss or sinus expansion. In the procedure, a small window is created in the jawbone to access the sinus membrane, which is gently lifted. Bone graft material is then placed in the area to encourage new bone growth. This helps create a stable foundation for dental implants in the future.
