Who is this surgery for?
- Severe bone resorption in the posterior maxilla (upper jaw) following tooth loss.
- Insufficient bone height (typically less than 5-6mm) between the jaw ridge and the sinus floor for implant placement.
- Preparation for dental implants to replace missing upper back teeth (premolars and molars).
- Prevention of sinus expansion (pneumatization) into the tooth-bearing area.
- Rehabilitation of the edentulous posterior maxilla to improve chewing function and oral health.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive dental examination with X-rays and a CT scan to assess sinus anatomy and bone volume.
- Medical history review and clearance, especially for conditions like sinusitis or allergies.
- Possible prescription of antibiotics or antiseptic mouthwash to reduce infection risk.
- Discussion of anesthesia options (local anesthesia with sedation is common).
- Instructions to avoid eating or drinking for several hours before surgery if sedation is used.
- Arranging for transportation home after the procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the surgical site or sinusitis.
- Perforation or tear of the sinus membrane, which is typically repaired during the procedure.
- Bleeding, swelling, or bruising.
- Graft failure or insufficient new bone formation.
- Numbness or tingling in the cheek, lip, or gums (usually temporary).
- Rare complications include sinus congestion, implant migration into the sinus, or oroantral communication (a hole between mouth and sinus).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Expect swelling and mild discomfort for a few days, managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
- Avoid blowing your nose, sneezing forcefully, or using straws for 1-2 weeks to protect the graft site.
- Maintain a soft-food diet and excellent oral hygiene as directed, avoiding the surgical area initially.
- Antibiotics and saline nasal sprays may be prescribed to prevent infection and keep sinuses clear.
- Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing and bone integration via X-rays.
- Avoid strenuous activity and smoking, as it can severely hinder healing and graft success.

Aditya Shah, a 42-year-old restaurant owner,...
Aditya Shah, a 42-year-old restaurant owner, had lost a back upper molar years ago. His busy life and dental anxiety delayed treatment. Now, wanting a dental implant to comfortably eat the foods he loves and cooks, a CT scan revealed severe bone loss in the sinus area. His oral surgeon, Dr. Mehta, gently explained that a sinus lift with bone graft was essential to create a stable foundation for the implant. Aditya was nervous about the complexity. The procedure, under IV sedation, was smooth. He experienced mild sinus pressure and swelling for a week, managing it with medication. After six months of healing, the successful bone graft allowed for a secure implant. Aditya's emotional journey shifted from fear of a 'major surgery' to immense relief and pride. He no longer avoids tough foods and feels a renewed confidence in his smile and health.
