The upper back jaw sometimes has too little bone to hold an implant. The air-filled sinus cavity sits just above these upper teeth. When the bone is thin, the sinus floor leaves little room for an implant. A sinus lift gently raises the sinus membrane to make space. Bone-grafting material is placed into the space beneath it. Over several months, new bone forms and thickens the area. The result is enough bone to firmly anchor an upper implant. This video is for general education only. It is not medical or dental advice. Ask your dentist what's right for you.
