Sinus Lift

Elevate Your Smile with Advanced Sinus Augmentation

At Don River Dental, we offer sinus lift procedures as part of our comprehensive oral surgery services. A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized procedure designed to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw's posterior region. This procedure is necessary when there is insufficient bone height in the area due to factors such as tooth loss or anatomical variations. Our experienced oral surgeons utilize advanced techniques to lift the sinus membrane and graft bone material into the space, creating a solid foundation for dental implants or other restorative treatments. Trust our skilled team at Don River Dental to provide the highest standard of care and exceptional results with sinus lift procedures.

What is Sinus Lift?

The sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a specialized oral surgery procedure offered at Don River Dental. It involves raising the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material in the upper jaw's posterior region, where there is inadequate bone height. This technique allows for the development of a solid foundation for dental implants, ensuring their long-term success. Our skilled oral surgeons utilize advanced techniques to perform this procedure with precision and care.

Why You May Need Sinus Lift?

It is very important to have a dentist monitor the development of your wisdom teeth, The best way for Don River Dental to see how your wisdom teeth are developing is to look at x-rays. Through examining your x-rays our dentists will be able to see which stage of development they are in and where their roots run within our jaw. Our dentists will be able to asses the position of your third molars in relation to your surrounding teeth as well.


Some concerns may arise when wisdom teeth do not come in straight causing them to push against neighboring teeth. This can lead to damage of the teeth being pushed, or the wisdom tooth becoming stuck and unable to erupt. This is known as impaction. An impacted wisdom tooth usually will need to be extracted to reduce the potential for harming neighboring teeth and eliminate reoccurring pain.


Not all mouths are large enough to accommodate four wisdom teeth. If your mouth has no room for third molars to come in, they will erupt and grow anyway. You may notice your front teeth shifting or overlapping, as the giant molars push all your teeth closer together. To avoid this orthodontic issue of crowding, wisdom teeth can be extracted. If tooth movement has already occurred, braces may be worn after extraction.


At Don River Dental our dentists will fully observe and monitor your wisdom teeth to ensure that they are developing correctly and if extraction is the right option we are here to provide you with the service.

Why You May Need Sinus Lift

There are several reasons why you may require a sinus lift as part of your dental implant journey. Common situations include:

Insufficient Bone Height

If your upper jaw lacks the necessary bone height to support dental implants, a sinus lift can provide the additional bone material needed for successful implant placement.

Tooth Loss

After losing teeth in the upper back jaw, the surrounding bone may naturally deteriorate over time. A sinus lift can replenish the lost bone and create a suitable foundation for dental implants.

Anatomical Variations

Some individuals naturally have a sinus located closer to their jawbone, leaving minimal space for implant placement. In such cases, a sinus lift can create the necessary room for successful implant integration.

Our experienced team at Don River Dental will evaluate your specific situation and recommend a sinus lift if required, ensuring your dental implant journey progresses smoothly and efficiently.
