Sinus Lift / Augmentation
Elevation of maxillary sinus floor to create vertical bone height for upper molar implants.
What is Sinus Lift / Augmentation?
The maxillary sinuses are air-filled cavities located behind your cheeks above your upper teeth. When upper molars or premolars are lost, the sinus cavity expands downward while the jawbone shrinks upward. A sinus lift (sinus augmentation) gently elevates the thin sinus membrane and places bone graft material beneath it, creating sufficient vertical height to securely anchor standard-length dental implants.
Who May Need This Treatment?
Dental implantology candidacy is established through clinical examination and 3D CBCT tomography. Common patient indicators include:
How Does the Procedure Work?
A typical dental implant journey follows a 4-stage clinical sequence ensuring safe biological osseointegration and natural bite alignment.
3D Sinus Anatomy Evaluation
CBCT scan evaluates sinus membrane thickness and rules out pre-existing pathology.
Gentle Membrane Elevation (Internal or Lateral)
Using piezosurgical instruments, the Schneiderian membrane is carefully lifted without perforation, creating a protected space.
Graft Packing & Healing
The newly created compartment is packed with regenerative bone graft material.

⚠️ Medical Estimate Disclaimer
Prices are non-binding platform estimates based on typical clinic fee schedules across Indian centers. Actual costs depend on individual clinical assessment, bone density, 3D CBCT scans, chosen implant brand, and customized treatment planning. ReplaceRoots does not guarantee treatment pricing.Recovery & Aftercare Timeline
Proper aftercare is essential to protect the implant while bone cells integrate with the titanium surface.
Sinus Precautions
Crucial sinus protocol: do not blow your nose, sneeze with your mouth open, and avoid air travel or scuba diving for 2 weeks.
