Sinus Lift in Scarborough
Restore Bone Support for Your Dental Implants
If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for dental implants, a sinus lift in Scarborough might be the key to your new smile. At Lawrence Dental Centre, our experienced team performs gentle and precise sinus lift procedures to help you regain the strong foundation your implants need, all in a comfortable, caring environment.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, is a minor surgical procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your back teeth. This bone is placed between your jaw and your sinus cavity, which naturally sits above your upper molars and premolars.
The goal of a sinus lift is simple: to create enough bone height and density to securely support dental implants.
Who Needs a Sinus Lift?
You may need a sinus lift if:
- You’ve lost upper back teeth, and the bone beneath the sinus is too thin for implants
- You’ve experienced bone loss in the upper jaw due to gum disease or tooth loss
- Your sinus cavity is naturally too close to your upper jaw
- You’ve been told that dental implants aren’t possible due to low bone volume
At Lawrence Dental Centre, our advanced 3D imaging allows us to determine exactly how much bone you have and whether a sinus lift is right for you.

Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients experience minimal discomfort after a sinus lift. Swelling or mild pressure in the sinus area is normal and typically fades within a few days. To help your healing process, avoid blowing your nose for at least a week, take prescribed medications as directed, stick to soft foods, avoid smoking, and attend all follow-up visits to monitor healing
Full bone healing takes about 4 to 9 months, after which your dental implants can be safely placed.
