Maxillary sinus floor augmentation, also known as sinus lift, sinus graft, sinus augmentation, or sinus procedure, is a surgical procedure that involves lifting the lower Schneiderian membrane (sinus membrane) and inserting a bone graft to increase the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla (upper jaw bone), in the area of the premolar and molar teeth.

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure to augment bone structure in the molar regions of the upper jaw to improve support for dental implants.
Commonly performed with sinus grafting using local bone or synthetic materials. Success rate depends on individual case and skill of surgeon.
