Maxillary Sinus Lift

Maxillary sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation or sinus elevation, is a surgical procedure performed to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw, specifically in the area of the maxillary sinuses, which are located behind the cheeks and above the upper teeth. This procedure is commonly done in preparation for dental implant placement when there is insufficient bone height in the posterior maxilla due to sinus expansion or bone resorption.
