Sinus lifts are surgical procedures that add bone to the upper jaw. These bones are located around the area supporting the rear teeth, also referred to as molars and premolars.
A bone is located between the maxillary sinuses (which border both sides of the nose) and the jaw. Due to the confined space of the face, the sinus membrane must be lifted up to make room for this additional bone; thus, the term “lift.” Our oral surgeons at Access Oral Surgery have many years of experience performing this complicated surgery.
