Sinus Lift: What It Is and Why You May Need It

A person undergoes a sinus lift when they need dental implants but do not have enough bone height to place implants owing to bone loss post tooth loss. During this procedure, the sinus membrane is moved upward and bone graft is placed to increase the bone height from crestal level to sinus floor.
