Sinus Lift in Groton, MA – Biologic Bone Regeneration for Upper Implants
Dental implants in the upper back jaw can be challenging when there’s not enough bone—but that doesn’t mean they’re impossible. At Groton Wellness, we perform sinus lifts using biocompatible materials and a biologic protocol to gently build up the bone beneath your sinus. Whether your jaw has thinned from extractions, age, or infection, we use advanced imaging, ozone, and PRF healing therapy to make implants possible—safely and naturally.
When Is a Sinus Lift Needed?
| Situation |
Why a Sinus Lift Is Recommended |
| Not enough bone for a dental implant |
The sinus cavity has expanded, leaving insufficient bone to support an implant in the upper jaw |
| Tooth loss in upper molars or premolars |
Bone naturally resorbs over time after extraction, reducing vertical height |
| Long-standing sinus pressure or collapse |
Grafting beneath the sinus can restore volume and improve oral–nasal separation |
| Bone loss from infection or cavitation |
Rebuilding the floor of the sinus allows for future implant placement or facial structure support |
Our Biologic Sinus Lift Approach
- CBCT 3D imaging to evaluate sinus shape, membrane thickness, and bone volume
- Minimally invasive technique using gentle membrane elevation and small graft insertion
- Biocompatible bone materials—free of synthetics and optimized for healing
- Ozone irrigation to disinfect the area and reduce infection risk
- PRF membranes from your own blood to stimulate natural bone growth
- Sedation options (oral or IV) for calm, comfortable visits
Types of Sinus Lifts We Perform
| Technique |
When It's Used |
| Lateral Window Sinus Lift |
Used when very little bone is present; graft is placed through a small side window in the jaw |
| Internal (Crestal) Sinus Lift |
Used when bone height is limited but still adequate for a gentler push-up approach through the implant site |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a sinus lift safe?
Yes. With 3D imaging and biologic protocols, we minimize risk and improve outcomes. Our team is trained in gentle, minimally invasive techniques that respect sinus membrane integrity.
Will I be awake during the procedure?
You can choose from local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation. Many patients opt for IV sedation to remain deeply relaxed throughout the visit.
How long does it take for the bone to grow?
It typically takes 4–6 months for grafted bone under the sinus to fully mature. We monitor healing with follow-up CBCT scans before placing your implant.
Does it hurt?
Most patients say it feels like mild pressure. You may have swelling for a few days afterward, but PRF and ozone therapy help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery.
How much does a sinus lift cost?
Depending on complexity and sedation method, a sinus lift may cost $1,800–$2,500. We’ll give you a personalized estimate after your scan and exam. HSA/FSA plans can often be used.
