A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure designed to increase bone volume in the upper jaw, particularly in the area of the molars and premolars, to facilitate the successful placement of dental implants. At London Dental Specialists, our sinus lift process is meticulously structured to ensure optimal outcomes:
1. **Consultation & Assessment**: We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including X-rays or CT scans, to assess your jawbone's health and determine the necessity of a sinus lift.
2. **Custom Treatment Plan**: Based on the assessment, we develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
3. **Sinus Lift Procedure**: Under local anaesthesia, an incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the bone. A small window is created in the bone to access the sinus membrane, which is gently lifted. Bone graft material is then placed into the space to encourage new bone growth.
4. **Post-Treatment Care**: After the procedure, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and monitor your progress through follow-up appointments.
This structured approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive care throughout the sinus lift process, enhancing the success rate of subsequent dental implant placements.

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. The bone is added between your jaw and the maxillary sinuses, which are on either side of your nose. To make room for the bone, the sinus membrane needs to be moved upward, or 'lifted.' At London Dental Specialists, this procedure is typically performed when there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw for dental implants to be placed.
You may need a sinus lift if:
At London Dental Specialists, our surgeons perform sinus lifts using advanced techniques. The procedure involves making a small incision in the gum tissue where your back teeth used to be, gently lifting the membrane lining the sinus, and placing bone graft material in the created space. This can be done either as a separate procedure before implant placement or simultaneously with implant surgery, depending on your specific case and the amount of existing bone.
During the procedure itself, you will be under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel any pain. Once the anaesthesia wears off, most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort for a few days. Our specialists at London Dental Specialists will prescribe appropriate pain medication to manage any post-operative pain. Most patients report that the discomfort is less than expected and typically subsides within a week.
The initial recovery period after a sinus lift typically lasts about 7-10 days, during which you may experience swelling and minor discomfort. However, the complete healing process, where the bone graft fully integrates with your natural bone, takes approximately 4-9 months. During this time, our team at London Dental Specialists will monitor your healing progress through follow-up appointments.
While sinus lifts are generally safe procedures, potential complications may include:
At London Dental Specialists, our experienced surgeons take every precaution to minimise these risks, and complications are rare.
When properly performed and with good oral hygiene, a sinus lift creates a permanent change to your anatomy. The grafted bone becomes part of your natural jaw structure. With regular dental check-ups and proper maintenance, the results of a sinus lift can last a lifetime, providing stable support for dental implants for many years.
Whether implants can be placed immediately depends on your individual case and the amount of existing bone. If you have enough bone to stabilise the implant (typically 4-5mm), our specialists at London Dental Specialists may place implants simultaneously with the sinus lift. If not, we typically wait 4-9 months for the grafted bone to integrate before placing implants. Our team will create a personalised treatment plan based on your specific needs.
After a sinus lift at London Dental Specialists, we recommend:
