Rebuilding Bone for Long-Term Implant Success
A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw beneath the sinuses. It is often recommended for patients with bone loss who need extra support for implants in the back of the mouth.
At Lifetime Smiles, we work closely with trusted surgeons during the surgical phase and guide you through planning and restoration. This ensures your dental implants are placed in strong, stable bone for lasting results.

Specialized Support for Implant Candidates With Bone Loss
Sinus lift surgery is recommended for patients who want dental implants in the upper molar or premolar area but do not have enough bone height due to tooth loss, bone resorption, or naturally thin bone structure.
You may also be a candidate if your sinus is too close to the implant site, making standard implant placement risky. At Lifetime Smiles, we evaluate your bone levels with advanced imaging and partner with experienced surgeons to make sure your foundation is ready for a secure, lasting implant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your path to a healthier smile starts with clarity. Find the answers you need to move forward with confidence.
What is a sinus lift and why is it necessary?
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper back jaw where there isn’t enough bone height to support a dental implant. It creates the needed space and strength for long-term implant success.
Is sinus lift surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation and is not painful during surgery. Mild soreness afterward is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter medication.
How long does it take to heal from a sinus lift?
Healing time varies but typically ranges from 4 to 6 months before implants can be placed. This gives the bone graft time to integrate with your natural bone.
Can dental implants be placed at the same time?
In some cases, yes—especially when a smaller lift is needed. We’ll assess your bone density and decide if same-day implant placement is appropriate.
Is sinus lift surgery safe?
Yes. When performed by experienced surgeons, sinus lifts have a high success rate and are a safe, effective way to prepare for implants.
