What Is a Sinus Lift?

In this video, Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr. explains what a sinus lift is and when this procedure may be considered before implant treatment.

A sinus lift is a procedure used to add bone to the upper jaw when there is not enough height to support an implant. This is typically needed in the back portion of the upper jaw near the sinuses. The procedure creates space for bone growth, allowing for future implant placement. While effective, it adds time and complexity to treatment. A consultation will determine whether this step is necessary or if alternative options are available.
