What are Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw (maxilla) by lifting the sinus membrane to create space for bone grafting material, typically performed when there is insufficient bone height for dental implant placement in the posterior maxilla. During this common procedure, the thin membrane lining the maxillary sinus is carefully elevated, and bone graft material is added between the existing bone and the raised membrane, allowing for successful dental implant placement once the grafted bone has integrated. The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthetic and may be done either before or simultaneously with implant placement, depending on the individual patient's bone volume and quality.

Our Process For Sinus Lift

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.

Conditions We Treat With Sinus Lift

We use Sinus Lift to treat multiple dental conditions at our Dancers Hill practice, concentrating on conditions that respond well to this treatment. Our experienced team establishes which conditions are most suitable for Sinus Lift. We provide clear guidance about expected outcomes for your specific condition.


  • Insufficient Bone Height in Upper Jaw - Sinus lift surgery is primarily used to address cases where there is inadequate bone height in the upper jaw for dental implant placement. This surgical procedure adds bone to the maxillary sinus area, creating sufficient foundation for implants.

  • Bone Loss Due to Tooth Loss - When teeth have been missing for an extended period, the jawbone can deteriorate. A sinus lift with bone grafting helps restore the lost bone structure necessary for successful dental implant integration.

  • Maxillary Sinus Proximity Issues - Some patients naturally have maxillary sinuses that are too close to the upper jaw, leaving insufficient space for implants. Sinus lift surgery creates the necessary separation between these structures.

  • Failed Previous Implant Attempts - For patients who have experienced unsuccessful dental implant procedures due to insufficient bone support, a sinus lift can provide the bone augmentation needed for a second attempt.

  • Congenital Bone Deficiencies - Some individuals are born with naturally thin bone structures in the upper jaw. Sinus lift procedures can address these congenital issues to enable proper dental restoration.

  • Bone Loss from Periodontal Disease - Advanced gum disease can lead to significant bone deterioration. Sinus lift surgery can help rebuild the bone structure damaged by periodontal conditions.

  • Preparation for Full Arch Reconstruction - Patients requiring comprehensive dental reconstruction in the upper jaw often need sinus lift procedures as part of their treatment plan to ensure adequate support for multiple implants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sinus lift procedure?


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.



Why might I need a sinus lift?


You may need a sinus lift if:



  • You have lost teeth in the upper jaw, particularly the back teeth (molars)

  • You have lost bone due to periodontal (gum) disease

  • Your maxillary sinus is too close to the upper jaw for implants to be placed

  • You need dental implants but lack sufficient bone height in the upper jaw

  • You have experienced bone resorption after tooth loss



How is a sinus lift procedure performed at London Dental Specialists?


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.



How painful is a sinus lift procedure?


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.



What is the recovery time after a sinus lift?


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.



What are the potential risks or complications of a sinus lift?


While sinus lifts are generally safe procedures, potential complications may include:



  • Sinus membrane perforation (which can be repaired during surgery)

  • Infection in the bone graft or sinus

  • Graft failure or poor integration

  • Swelling and bruising around the surgical site

  • Temporary sinus congestion


At London Dental Specialists, our experienced surgeons take every precaution to minimise these risks, and complications are rare.



How long does a sinus lift last?


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.



Can I have dental implants placed immediately after a sinus lift?


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.



What aftercare is required following a sinus lift procedure?


After a sinus lift at London Dental Specialists, we recommend:



  1. Avoiding blowing your nose forcefully for at least 2 weeks

  2. Sneezing with your mouth open to reduce pressure in the sinuses

  3. Taking prescribed antibiotics and pain medication as directed

  4. Using ice packs to reduce swelling

  5. Avoiding strenuous physical activity for 1-2 weeks

  6. Following a soft food diet for several days

  7. Attending all scheduled follow-up appointments


Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions specific to your case.
