Contact UsWhat is a Sinus Lift?
A surgical sinus lift is often performed to help patients qualify for an implant. At East Village Dental Center, we can prepare you for an implant with sinus lift surgery. Inadequate bone height in the upper jaw, poor bone quality, or sinuses that could be too near to place an implant are reasons why you may need a sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation surgery. The sinus floor needs to be moved to ensure an implant can be properly placed. Schedule a consultation with our dental team in New York, NY to find out more about dental implants and sinus lift surgery.
Who Can Have a Sinus Lift?
You may qualify for a sinus lift if you have an insufficient area in your upper jaw for an implant due to your sinuses being excessively big or too near the bone. During a personal consultation, we will perform a digital x-ray to measure your sinuses and jaw and determine if repositioning the sinuses with or without a bone graft would be a proper plan of action before an implant.

How is a Sinus Lift Performed?
A sinus lift is a detailed surgical procedure that is completed in our New York City office. If necessary, a bone graft will be prepared. A surgical incision will be placed in the soft tissue in the back of your mouth. Then, we will raise the gums will to reveal the jawbone. If needed, the bone graft will be completed before the sinuses are pushed up higher and away from the jaw. Finally, the incision within the gums will be stitched.
What Can I Expect when Recovering from a Sinus Lift?
Following your sinus raise, we may give you a prescription for pain relievers and antibiotics to help you during your recovery. We will go over the best way to care for your incisions in detail and will also give you instructions on how to care for your mouth post-surgery. You should schedule a follow-up appointment about a week or so after your sinus surgery so we can remove the stitches. If you previously had a bone graft, it will take a few months to heal before an implant can be placed.

Sinus Lift Surgery
If you are eligible for a sinus lift, preparing the jawbone is vital to the success of an implant.
