A sinus lift is most commonly recommended for patients with insufficient bone height in the upper jaw—often due to long-term tooth loss, gum disease, or natural bone resorption. Healthy adults seeking dental implants but lacking adequate bone density are prime candidates. Before recommending the procedure, we conduct a thorough exam, often including 3D scans or X-rays, to confirm that your sinus anatomy and medical history support a successful graft. If you’re a suitable candidate, a sinus lift can dramatically expand your treatment options for stable, long-lasting implants.
