Sinus Lift in Montreal
Increase Bone for Upper Dental Implants
A sinus lift is a specialized surgical procedure used to increase bone volume in the upper jaw, making dental implants possible in areas where bone is insufficient. At our Montreal clinic, Dr. Mohamed Youssef performs sinus lift procedures using precise, minimally invasive techniques.
If you have been told you do not have enough bone for implants in the upper jaw, a sinus lift can provide a predictable solution.
What is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift (sinus augmentation) is a procedure that involves lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material to increase bone height in the upper jaw.
This is often necessary when:
bone has been lost after tooth extraction
the sinus is too close to the jaw
long-term tooth loss has occurred
Benefits of a Sinus Lift
allows placement of dental implants in the upper jaw
increases bone volume and stability
improves long-term implant success
restores function and chewing ability
Potential Drawbacks and Risks
swelling or mild discomfort
healing period required before implants
temporary sinus pressure
rare risk of infection or sinus complications
With modern techniques, sinus lifts are safe and highly predictable.
How the Procedure Works
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, with optional sedation.
Steps include:
accessing the sinus area
gently lifting the sinus membrane
placing bone graft material
allowing healing and integration
The procedure typically takes 60–90 minutes.
Recovery After a Sinus Lift
Most patients experience:
mild swelling for a few days
temporary sinus pressure
minimal discomfort
Healing usually takes 4 to 6 months before implant placement.
Patients are advised to:
avoid blowing their nose
follow a soft diet
take prescribed medications
Who is a Good Candidate?
You may need a sinus lift if you have:
insufficient bone in the upper jaw
missing upper molars or premolars
previous bone loss
need for dental implants
A 3D scan will determine if this procedure is necessary.
Cost of Sinus Lift in Montreal
The cost depends on:
type of sinus lift (internal vs external)
amount of bone required
complexity of the case
Sinus Lift vs No Treatment
Without treatment, insufficient bone may result in:
inability to place implants
continued bone loss
reduced oral function
A sinus lift restores the foundation needed for long-term implant success.
