Sinus Augmentation (Sinus Lift) in Brooklyn & Smithtown, NY

Planning to get dental implants in the upper back jaw but told there’s not enough bone? A sinus augmentation—also known as a sinus lift—can help create the strong, stable foundation needed for successful implant placement.

At Renew Dental Spa, we perform gentle, precise sinus lift procedures in Brooklyn and Smithtown to restore bone height and support long-lasting implant success—all in a peaceful, spa-like setting.

What Is a Sinus Augmentation?

A sinus augmentation is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area beneath the sinuses. This is typically needed when natural bone height is insufficient due to:

  • Tooth loss (especially molars or premolars)
  • Bone resorption over time
  • Anatomically large sinus cavities

By lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material beneath it, we can rebuild the height necessary to safely and securely place dental implants.

When Is a Sinus Lift Needed?

You may need a sinus lift if:

  • You’re missing upper back teeth and want dental implants
  • X-rays show low bone height in the posterior maxilla
  • You’ve been told there isn’t enough bone to support an implant
  • You previously had gum disease or trauma that reduced bone volume

Don’t worry—sinus lifts are a common and well-tolerated procedure. Most patients say the process was easier than expected.

FAQs

Can the sinus lift and implant be done on the same day?2025-05-06T10:54:17-04:00

In certain cases with minimal lift required, yes. Most often, though, the sinus needs time to heal before placing the implant.

Is there an alternative to a sinus lift?2025-05-06T10:53:58-04:00

In some cases, short implants or angled placement may be possible. We’ll explore all options with you before recommending surgery.

How long does it take to heal?2025-05-06T10:53:37-04:00

Typically, 4–6 months is needed for full bone integration before implants can be placed.

Is a sinus lift painful?2025-05-06T10:53:12-04:00

The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and most patients report only minor swelling or soreness for a few days. We’ll provide post-op instructions to keep you comfortable.
