Approaches
Depending on how much bone is needed, a sinus lift may be performed through a small window on the side of the ridge (lateral approach) or through the implant site itself (crestal approach). Sometimes the implant can be placed at the same visit.
Recovery
You will receive instructions to protect the sinus while it heals, such as avoiding forceful nose-blowing. We review these carefully before and after the procedure.
