Bone Support for Implant Treatment

Sinus Lift Surgery in Jerusalem

A sinus lift is a procedure used to increase bone height in the upper back jaw when there is not enough bone for dental implants. This can help create the support needed for a stable, long-term implant result.

Create more bone height

The procedure helps increase available bone in the upper jaw where support is limited.

Support implant planning

A sinus lift can improve options for implant placement when natural bone is insufficient.

Careful anatomical planning

Precise evaluation is important because treatment is performed close to the sinus space.

When is a sinus lift needed?

In the upper molar and premolar areas, the sinus may sit low and the available bone may be limited. After tooth loss, that bone can shrink even further. When there is not enough bone for implant support, a sinus lift may be recommended.

  • Limited bone height in the upper back jaw
  • Longstanding tooth loss with bone shrinkage
  • Implant treatment that needs more vertical support
  • Cases where a stronger implant foundation is needed

How treatment is planned

Evaluation and imaging

The amount of existing bone and the anatomy of the sinus are carefully reviewed.

Bone support procedure

The sinus membrane is elevated and grafting material is placed to build support where needed.

Healing and implant planning

In some cases implants can be placed at the same time. In others, healing is recommended first.

Why careful planning matters

Sinus lift surgery requires precision and good anatomical planning. The right approach depends on the amount of existing bone, the surgical goals, and the long-term implant plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will everyone needing an upper implant need a sinus lift?
No. Some patients have enough natural bone, while others need additional support first.
Can implants be placed at the same time?
In selected cases, yes. In others, healing is recommended before implant placement.
Why is this procedure usually done in the back upper jaw?
That area is often affected by limited bone height because of the nearby sinus space.
