Sinus Lift
Supporting Dental Implants with Sinus Augmentation
A sinus lift is a specialized surgical procedure performed 
when there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw—typically in the area of the premolars and molars—or when the sinus cavity is too close to the jawbone, making it difficult to place dental implants securely. During the procedure, the sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is added to the area to create a strong, stable foundation for future implants.

Answers to Common Questions About Periodontal Disease Treatment in Edmonton
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area near the molars and premolars. It’s typically needed when there isn’t enough bone height to support a dental implant or when the sinus cavity is too close to the jawbone.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after a sinus lift procedure. It is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure you’re comfortable. Post-operative soreness is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed medication.
Initial healing typically takes 1–2 weeks, but full bone integration can take 4–6 months before dental implants can be safely placed. Your periodontist will monitor healing closely throughout the process.
Like any surgical procedure, a sinus lift carries some risks, such as sinus membrane perforation, infection, or swelling. However, these complications are rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist like Dr. Nagpal.
You may be a candidate for a sinus lift if you have experienced bone loss in your upper jaw, particularly in the premolar or molar region, or if your sinus cavity is positioned too close to the jawbone. A detailed examination, including X-rays or a CBCT scan, is required to determine if the procedure is right for you.
