Sinus Lift Surgery at Apollo Dental Clinic, Suchitra, Hyderabad
Tooth loss in the upper back jaw can be challenging when the bone height is insufficient for dental implants. One of the most effective solutions in such cases is Sinus Lift Surgery, a specialised procedure that creates enough bone height in the upper jaw to securely place implants.
This minimally invasive surgery is especially useful for patients who have lost teeth due to age, injury, or bone loss from periodontal disease. Our clinic performs sinus lifts with precision and advanced safety protocols to help you receive successful and long-lasting implants.
What Is Sinus Lift Surgery?
A sinus lift (also called sinus augmentation) is a surgical procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. The bone is placed between your jaw and the maxillary sinuses (located on either side of your nose). To make room for the bone, the sinus membrane is gently lifted.
The additional bone creates a stable foundation for future dental implants in areas where natural bone height is lacking.
Who Needs a Sinus Lift?
- You are missing teeth in the upper back jaw
- Your bone height is insufficient for implants
- You've had bone loss due to gum disease or age
- Your sinuses are too close to the upper jaw for implant placement
This procedure is often recommended before or in conjunction with dental implant surgery to ensure long-term success.
The Sinus Lift Procedure
- Evaluation and Imaging – We use CBCT scans and digital X-rays to assess bone structure and sinus anatomy.
- Accessing the Sinus – A small opening is made in the gum tissue and jawbone to access the sinus floor.
- Lifting the Sinus Membrane – The sinus lining is carefully pushed upward to create space.
- Bone Graft Placement – A bone graft material (synthetic or natural) is inserted to fill the space.
- Healing Period – The site is stitched, and healing may take 4–9 months before implant placement.
Types of Sinus Lift Techniques
- Lateral Window Technique – Commonly used when bone height is severely reduced.
- Osteotome (Crestal) Technique – Less invasive; used when minor bone gain is required.
Benefits of Sinus Lift Surgery
- Enables implant placement in the upper back jaw
- Prevents implant failure due to insufficient bone
- Long-term improvement in oral function and bite
- Safe, predictable procedure with high success rates
- Boosts confidence by restoring missing teeth properly

FAQs – Sinus Lift Surgery
- Q1. Is sinus lift surgery painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. Discomfort is minimal, and most patients manage well with basic pain relievers. - Q2. How long does recovery take?
Initial healing takes about 1–2 weeks, but full bone integration may take 4–9 months. - Q3. Can dental implants be placed immediately after the sinus lift?
In some cases, yes. But typically, we wait for the graft to integrate before placing implants. - Q4. Are there any risks with sinus lift surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, risks include infection or sinus membrane tear, but these are rare with proper technique. - Q5. What kind of bone graft is used?
We may use synthetic bone, processed donor bone, or your own bone depending on your case and preferences.
