Unlocks Upper-Jaw Implants
Adding bone beneath the sinus makes implants possible in the upper back jaw, where bone is often too thin.
Missing upper back teeth and told there isn't enough bone for an implant? A sinus lift in Houston, TX, adds bone beneath the sinus so we can place secure, natural-looking implants in the upper jaw. At Muse Dental Studio, Dr. Tatari plans every case with 3D imaging for a comfortable, predictable result.
A sinus lift — also called sinus augmentation — gently raises the membrane at the floor of your sinus and adds bone to the upper jaw. It's often needed when the upper back teeth have been missing for a while, because the bone there is naturally thin and the sinus can expand into the space. By rebuilding that bone, a sinus lift creates the height and density required to anchor dental implants where they otherwise wouldn't be possible.

The new bone gives your implants the height and density they need to stay secure for the long term.

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Dr. Tatari uses 3D scans to measure your sinus and bone and plan exactly how much augmentation you need.
The sinus membrane is carefully lifted and bone material is placed beneath it, with sedation available for your comfort.
Over several months the graft matures into strong bone that can support implants — we monitor your healing throughout.
Once the site is ready, we place your dental implants on a solid, rebuilt foundation.
The upper molars sit closest to the sinus, where bone is thinnest and a lift is most often needed.
If a scan shows the bone is too shallow for an implant, a sinus lift builds it up.
Bone shrinks over the years after a tooth is lost, and the sinus can drop into the gap.
A sinus lift is a common, predictable step in preparing the upper jaw for lasting implants.

Healing typically takes several months while the graft matures into strong bone. In some cases an implant can be placed at the same time. Dr. Tatari will give you a personalized timeline after your 3D scan.
It comes down to how much bone you have beneath the sinus, which varies from person to person. A 3D scan shows exactly what's there, and Dr. Tatari will only recommend a lift if it's needed to support your implants.
