Sinus Lift: How Is Care Planned?
Existing bone, sinus health and previous surgery are reviewed. Three-dimensional imaging is used when indicated.
The approach in the back of the upper jaw depends on remaining bone height and sinus findings.
Sinus Lift: Treatment Stages
The sinus membrane may be carefully elevated and graft material placed. Implant placement at the same visit or later depends on bone support and clinical conditions.
Care and Review
Specific recovery precautions are explained. Graft assessment and implant timing are based on review findings.
The method and ongoing care are determined by clinical findings, medical history and individual needs.

A Look Inside Our Practice
Sinus Lift — Frequently Asked Questions
What should I know about sinus lift?
A sinus lift may be considered to increase bone support for implants in the back of the upper jaw. Sinus anatomy and existing bone height influence the choice of approach.
How is suitability assessed?
Existing bone, sinus health and previous surgery are reviewed. Three-dimensional imaging is used when indicated.
What does the process involve?
The sinus membrane may be carefully elevated and graft material placed. Implant placement at the same visit or later depends on bone support and clinical conditions.
How are the number of visits and timing decided?
The scope, clinical findings and any additional stages determine the individual schedule.
How is comfort managed?
Anaesthesia and aftercare needs are discussed in relation to the procedure and medical history.
Will I need X-rays or other imaging?
Diagnostic records are selected after assessment; imaging is not ordered routinely when it is not needed.
Are there other options?
Monitoring, conservative care or other treatments may be compared according to the findings.
What follow-up is needed?
Specific recovery precautions are explained. Graft assessment and implant timing are based on review findings.
Can an implant be placed at the same appointment?
Sometimes; the decision depends on existing bone support and surgical findings.
Can I enquire from abroad?
You can share preliminary information. A remote conversation does not replace examination or a definitive plan.
