Achieve Ideal Implant Fit with Professional Sinus Lift
Enhance Implant Stability
with Sinus Augmentation
At Foundation Implants, we believe that a strong foundation shapes a brilliant and confident smile. However, nature does require assistance from time to time. If you’re looking for dental implants in your upper jaw but have been told your bone density is inadequate, a sinus lift or sinus augmentation can be the solution. These carefully crafted procedures are meant to increase the bone volume in your upper jaw thus ensuring a strong and stable fit for your dental implants. Our team of experienced doctors specializes in sinus lift procedures and uses advanced techniques to guarantee a comfortable positive experience.
What is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift—also called sinus augmentation—is a surgical procedure whereby bone is added to the upper jaw, in the area behind your cheekbones and underneath your sinuses. This is often required because the cavernous sinuses can expand over time, especially following tooth loss, leaving less bone accessible to support dental implants. A sinus lift involves carefully lifting the sinus membrane and filling the empty cavity with bone grafting material. This new bone offers a solid basis for the implant, therefore encouraging effective osseointegration—that is, the fusion of the implant with the jawbone.

Why Choose Sinus Augmentation?
Choosing sinus augmentation can considerably improve the success probability of upper-jaw dental implants. Sinus lift for tooth implants restores bone density and volume, establishing a strong foundation. Long-term benefits include increased implant stability and longevity, which can result in improved oral function and aesthetics. Sinus augmentation helps patients to fully experience the advantages of dental implants, including better chewing capacity and a natural-looking smile, by rectifying bone deficiencies.
Ignoring these symptoms can have severe consequences. People with advanced periodontal disease may lose their teeth, but the risks go far beyond your mouth. Untreated gum infections cause abscesses and systemic infections that affect your body elsewhere. These infections, in severe form, may be fatal, emphasizing the vital need for early periodontal disease therapy.

Surgery Process
Foundation Implants is dedicated to making your sinus lift surgery as comfortable and worry-free as possible. Here’s an overview of the process:
1. Consultation
We will carefully review your medical history and discuss if you would be a qualified candidate for sinus augmentation. The procedure will be carefully planned to meet your specific needs using state-of-the-art imaging technology to render an image of your bone and the shape of your sinus.
2. Surgery
The sinus lift is normally performed with a local anesthetic, however, sedative options are available for your comfort. To gain access to the jawbone, a small incision will be made in the gum tissue. The sinus membrane will then be slightly raised and bone grafting material will be carefully placed. Most sinus lifts, depending on the approach used, are just slightly invasive. Our modern techniques guarantee a flawless experience therefore minimizing your discomfort.
3. Recovery
You will receive thorough post-operative instructions to help with a smooth recovery. Most patients feel minimal discomfort; any swelling or bruising often goes away in a few days. We will be with you at every stage to guarantee your well-being and comfort.
4. Implant Placement
Once the bone has healed and fused with the graft—usually after a few months—we will next put your dental implants, therefore completing your path to a restored smile.
