Recovery Guide
What to expect during Sinus Lift Surgery recovery
Sinus Lift Surgery is a dental surgical procedure performed to increase bone volume in the upper jaw (maxilla) in preparation for successful dental implant placement. Due to tooth loss, aging, or anatomical limitations, the sinus cavity may sit too close to the upper jawbone, leaving insufficient bone height for stable implant support. During the sinus lift, the sinus membrane is gently elevated, and a bone graft material is placed beneath it to create adequate space and bone density for future implantation. This results in a stable foundation that significantly improves implant success rates and long-term durability.
