Sinus Lift

 Sinus lift is usually performed prior to the placement of dental implants. The success of an implant is highly dependent on the quantity and quality of the jawbone to which it will be attached. If the jawbone has receded, a sinus lift can slightly elevate the sinus floor to allow new bone to form. Dr. West will make a small incision and pack the underlying space with grafting material. The incision is sutured closed, and the implant will be placed once healing has occurred.
