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 in which the Schneider's membrane is elevated to create space for bone grafting, allowing dental implants to be placed in the sinuses.
Commonly used when there isn't enough bone height for dental implants. May require several months for complete healing.
