Placing dental implants in the upper back jaw presents a unique challenge — the sinus cavity sits just above that area, and when bone loss has occurred, there may not be enough height to safely place an implant without encroaching on the sinus. A sinus lift resolves this by carefully elevating the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material beneath it, creating the space needed for a stable implant.
At North Creek Dental Care, our surgical team performs sinus lift procedures for patients throughout Tinley Park and the Southland area. Our oral surgeon in Tinley Park uses imaging to plan each case precisely, ensuring that the sinus membrane is handled with care and that the graft is positioned to maximize bone volume in the target area. A proud Southland’s Best 2024 and 2025 winner, we help patients who were once told they were not implant candidates find a path forward.
