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 cavity, and the sinus membrane is gently lifted. Bone graft material is then placed into the space to promote new bone growth.
4. **Post-Treatment Care**: After the procedure, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and prepare the site for future dental implant placement.
This structured approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive care throughout the sinus lift process, enhancing the success rate of subsequent dental implant procedures.

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure performed when there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw for dental implants. The bone inside the maxillary sinuses is lined by a thin membrane which is gently raised or 'lifted' to create space for bone grafting material. This additional bone provides the necessary foundation for dental implants. At London Dental Specialists, sinus lifts may be performed either before implant placement or simultaneously, depending on your specific clinical situation.
You may need a sinus lift if:
At London Dental Specialists, a sinus lift procedure typically involves these steps:
During the procedure itself, you will not feel pain as it is performed under local anaesthesia. Once the anaesthesia wears off, some discomfort can be expected, but this varies between patients. Most patients experience mild to moderate pain in the immediate aftermath, which is typically manageable with prescribed pain medications. The discomfort generally subsides significantly within 3-5 days. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and appropriate pain management to ensure your comfort throughout the recovery process.
Recovery from a sinus lift occurs in stages. Initial swelling and discomfort typically subside within 7-10 days. However, complete healing and bone integration is a longer process that takes approximately 4-9 months. During this time, the grafted material integrates with your natural bone to create a solid foundation for implants. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, though you'll need to follow specific aftercare instructions including avoiding strenuous activities, not blowing your nose, and taking prescribed medications as directed.
While sinus lifts are generally safe procedures when performed by qualified specialists, potential risks include:
At London Dental Specialists, we take every precaution to minimise these risks through careful planning, precise surgical techniques, and comprehensive aftercare.
When properly performed and with good oral hygiene, a sinus lift creates a permanent change to your upper jaw anatomy. The grafted bone becomes integrated with your natural bone and provides long-term support for dental implants. The dental implants placed after a sinus lift can last a lifetime with proper care, including regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking. At London Dental Specialists, we provide ongoing support to help maintain your oral health following any procedure.
Whether dental implants can be placed simultaneously with a sinus lift depends on your specific clinical situation, particularly the amount of existing bone. If you have sufficient natural bone to provide initial stability for implants (typically 4-5mm), simultaneous placement may be possible. If not, a staged approach is recommended, allowing the grafted bone to heal and integrate for 4-9 months before implant placement. During your consultation at London Dental Specialists, our team will assess your individual case and recommend the most appropriate treatment timeline.
Proper aftercare is essential for successful healing after a sinus lift. Our recommendations include:
