When it may be needed
After upper back teeth are lost, the sinus can expand while the ridge shrinks. 3D imaging helps measure the remaining bone and choose the safest approach.

Internal approach
For a smaller increase, the sinus floor may be gently elevated through the implant preparation site. Implant placement may be possible at the same visit when stability is adequate.
External approach
For a larger increase, a small side window is created to elevate the sinus lining and place graft material. Implant placement may be simultaneous or delayed.
Healing and timing
Healing commonly takes several months. Timing depends on residual bone, graft size, sinus health and implant stability.
