During a sinus augmentation, a small incision is made in your gums to expose the jawbone just underneath your sinuses.
Next, a tiny opening is made in the bone so we can see the membrane that lies between your sinuses and jawbone.
We gently push or lift the membrane upward, which creates a space between your jawbone and the membrane that we pack with bone grafting material.
Once the bone graft material is inserted, we will stitch your gums, and the area will begin to heal.
