A sinus lift, also sometimes referred to as a sinus or ridge augmentation, is performed when there is a need to increase the amount of bone structure in the molar or pre-molar section of the upper jawbone. This surgery is usually performed for the purpose of supporting a dental implant, which can be placed once the bone has healed and shows sufficient density and mass to support the implants.
