Sinus lift surgery, also known as a sinus augmentation or sinus graft, is a procedure recommended by dentists for patients who do not have enough bone to secure a dental implant. During this surgery, the sinus floor is raised through an incision in the gum tissue. The space beneath it is then filled with bone graft material, which can regenerate lost bone and tissue. After the incision is closed, bone usually develops in 4-6 months. An implant can be placed once the bone has healed and developed. In some cases the implant can be placed the same day the sinus lift surgery is performed. Sinus lift surgery is very common and patients report experiencing minimal discomfort during the procedure and after surgery.
