A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a procedure that increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone material. This is often necessary for patients looking to place dental implants in the upper back jaw. Why Choose Sinus Lift at Oak Hills Dentistry We use advanced imaging technology to carefully plan and execute sinus lift procedures with precision, ensuring that you have the bone density needed for successful implants. Who Requires a Sinus Lift? Individuals who lack sufficient bone height in the upper jaw or those whose sinuses are too close to the jaw due to congenital conditions or bone loss after tooth extraction are ideal candidates for a sinus lift. By choosing board-certified surgeons like Tyler Bradstreet, DMD, patients in Portland can ensure that their procedure is performed with the highest level of expertise and care, maximizing the chances for successful dental implant integration.

"I highly recommend Dr. Bradstreet for your dental care. He and his entire staff make me feel so comfortable for my visits. I also feel secure in knowing he is using all the latest technology and expertise. I have been going to this same office for more than 15 years, first with Dr. Laura Matin, who was wonderful, too. She retired and picked a great dentist, Dr. Bradstreet, to take over her dental practice."
