Internal Sinus Lift
This animation guides you through an internal sinus lift — a procedure used to add bone in areas where there’s not enough for a dental implant. It’s often needed when upper back teeth have been missing for a long time and the bone in that region has naturally reduced over time.

This animation shows how we carry out an internal sinus lift — a gentle procedure used when there’s not quite enough bone height in the upper back jaw to place a dental implant. It’s often needed when teeth have been missing for a while and the bone has naturally reduced over time.
Instead of accessing the sinus from the side (Lateral Window approach), we go through the implant site itself. Using special instruments, we carefully lift the sinus lining and place bone graft material underneath. This helps create just enough space and support for a secure, long-lasting implant — all done with minimal disruption and your comfort in mind.
