What is a Maxillary Sinus Lift Procedure?
A maxillary sinus lift is a way to restore the bone’s density by elevating, lifting, or augmenting the sinus membrane. This creates a space facilitating bone growth between the sinus and jawbone for dental implants. When the bone in the upper jaw has completely resorbed, the maxillary sinus is situated near the upper jaw, or individuals with a thin upper jaw and who experience tooth loss in the upper jaw require this procedure.
There are two primary types of maxillary sinus lift procedures: the Lateral Window Approach (external method) and the Crestal Approach (internal method).
