Vertical Sinus Lift Explained | Bone Grafting for Dental Implants | New Jersey Implant Dentist

A vertical sinus lift, also called an internal sinus lift or crestal sinus lift, is a bone grafting procedure that can help create enough bone height for dental implant placement in the upper back jaw. When the maxillary sinus is close to the jawbone, there may not be enough bone to safely place a dental implant. In this video, Dr. Erik Mendelsohn explains how a vertical sinus lift gently elevates the sinus membrane and adds bone graft material to support a stronger, more predictable dental implant. In this video, you’ll learn: ✅ Why bone height matters for dental implants ✅ What happens when the sinus is too close to the jawbone ✅ How a vertical sinus lift is performed ✅ How bone grafting can improve implant stability ✅ Why 3D imaging and careful planning are important A sinus lift may sound intimidating, but with proper planning, digital imaging, and the right technique, it can be a predictable way to make dental implants possible in areas with limited bone.
