What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a procedure that raises the sinus floor to create space for bone grafting.
During the bone graft sinus lift in Fremont, grafting material is placed into the lifted sinus area to promote new bone growth. This additional bone volume provides the necessary support for dental implants.

The Sinus Lift Procedure: What to Expect
At Fremont Star Dental, the sinus lift procedure is performed with your comfort and safety in mind. The general steps include:
- Evaluation & Imaging – We use advanced dental X-rays and 3D scans to assess your bone and sinus structure.
- Surgical Access – A small opening is created in the bone near the sinus.
- Sinus Elevation – The sinus membrane is gently lifted.
- Bone Grafting – Graft material is placed in the space between the sinus and jawbone.
- Healing Period – The area heals over several months, allowing new bone to form.
- Implant Placement – Once healed, dental implants can be placed securely.
In some cases, the implant can be placed at the same time as the sinus lift, this depends on the amount of existing bone and the patient's individual case.
Why You Might Need a Sinus Lift
Natural Anatomy
Thin bone near the sinuses
Tooth Loss Over Time
Leading to bone resorption
Previous Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions that weren't followed by bone preservation
Enlarged Sinus Cavities
Naturally larger sinus cavities reducing available bone
Missing Molars or Premolars
You are missing molars or premolars in the upper jaw
Inadequate Bone Height
You have inadequate bone height for implant stability
Benefits of a Sinus Lift Before Implant Placement
Makes Upper Jaw Implants Possible
Creates enough bone height in an area that would otherwise be too thin to support an implant.
Reduces Risk of Implant Failure
A solid bone foundation lowers the chance of the implant loosening or failing later on.
Improves Long-Term Stability
A well-integrated graft helps the implant stay firmly anchored for years to come.
Restores Full Chewing Function
Supports implants in the back of the upper jaw, where molars do most of the chewing work.
Uses Minimally Invasive Techniques
Modern instruments and imaging make the procedure more precise and comfortable than in years past.
High Success Rate
Sinus lifts are a well-established, predictable procedure with a strong long-term track record.

Recovering From a Sinus Lift — What to Expect
- First Few Days: Mild swelling, congestion, or minor bleeding from the nose is normal; avoid blowing your nose or sneezing forcefully to protect the graft.
- Week 1–2: Swelling and discomfort gradually ease; stick to soft foods and avoid air travel, swimming, or strenuous activity until cleared.
- Weeks 2–4: Initial soft tissue healing is typically complete, though the graft site is still fragile underneath.
- Months 4–9: The bone graft matures and integrates with your jaw — the healing window our team monitors before implant placement (in some cases, the implant may be placed at the same time as the lift).
- Implant Placement: Once imaging confirms adequate bone height, your implant can be placed securely.
