How long does the Sinus lift take?

The procedure will take between 1-2 hours. Every procedure has the option of being undertaken with intravenous sedation.

Why would I need a Sinus lift?

For a successful dental implant, there needs to be a sufficient height of bone. The sinus lift will reposition the thin membrane (part of the sinus) which will create more height to allow for a successful dental implant.

What does the Sinus lift procedure involve?

  • The sinus membrane will be exposed
  • The sinus membrane is skilfully and carefully lifted
  • The space will be filled with artificial bone granules
  • The affected area will then be left to heal (can take between 3-6 months) and then the implants will be placed
  • A dental implant can also be placed at the same time of a sinus lift in some instances
