Restore bone height in the upper jaw so implants can be placed safely and predictably — even after years of bone loss.
Crestal or lateral window approach — matched precisely to your bone structure.
Advanced techniques preserve bone and minimise invasiveness for better stability.
Rebuilds even significant bone loss to support a stable, lasting outcome.
While many practices refer sinus augmentation elsewhere, at Smilebay Signature it’s a core part of our implant practice — performed in-house and planned with the final implant outcome in mind, by clinicians trained in both surgical and restorative implant dentistry.
For patients with more severe bone loss, this technique creates larger volumes of new bone, improves implant support, and restores previously challenging sites — often needed after long-standing tooth loss with substantial bone reduction.
Sinus augmentation demands precision and delicate handling of the membrane. We use dedicated instruments, including Tatum sinus tools — developed from pioneer Dr. Hilt Tatum’s work — plus specialised osteotomes, sinus-safe drills, and precision depth control systems. These aren’t standard equipment; they reflect our commitment to the surgical control this procedure demands.
We believe informed patients make confident decisions.

Get answers to common questions about sinus lifting.
Most patients find sinus lift surgery more comfortable than expected. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and any post-operative discomfort is usually mild. Temporary swelling, minor bruising, or a feeling of sinus pressure may occur but typically improves within a few days.
You’ll need to stick to soft foods for the first week or two following surgery. Avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods during the initial healing period.
The duration depends on the complexity of the case and the type of sinus lift being performed. Most procedures are completed within one to two hours and are typically performed as an outpatient treatment.
Yes. Sinus augmentation is a well-established and predictable procedure when performed by experienced implant clinicians. At Smilebay Signature, advanced CBCT imaging, digital treatment planning, and specialised sinus surgery instruments are used to improve surgical precision and safety.
Yes. A follow-up CBCT scan is typically taken after the healing period to assess bone regeneration and confirm that sufficient bone has formed before implant placement proceeds. This ensures we are not placing implants prematurely.
