What Is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift, also called a sinus augmentation, adds bone to the upper jaw region of your back teeth, just below the maxillary sinuses. When tooth loss or the natural position of the sinus leaves too little bone for an implant, we gently lift the sinus membrane and place graft material in the space to build the height an implant needs. Planned with 3D imaging, the procedure is precise and comfortable, and the graft is left to heal and strengthen over a few months. Once the new bone has matured, your jaw can securely support a dental implant that looks and feels natural.

The Benefits of a Sinus Lift

Implant-Ready Bone

Rebuilding height in the upper jaw creates the solid foundation a dental implant needs, making treatment possible where it was not before.

Stronger Foundation

A fuller ridge of bone anchors an implant securely, supporting a replacement tooth that stands up to everyday biting and chewing.

Lasting Results

Healthy bone volume helps your implant stay stable for years, supporting a complete, natural-looking smile you can rely on.

Preserved Structure

Adding bone where it has thinned helps maintain the form of your jaw and face, keeping your smile looking full and natural.

Our Step-by-Step Process

A sinus lift is a carefully planned procedure, and we keep every step comfortable and clear.

Schedule Appointment
  1. 01

    3D Planning

    We map your jaw and sinus in detail with 3D imaging, so we know exactly where and how much bone to build.

  2. 02

    Gentle Numbing

    We fully numb the area, with oral sedation available, so you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.

  3. 03

    Creating Space

    We gently lift the sinus membrane to open the space where new bone will be placed, protecting the surrounding tissue.

  4. 04

    Bone Graft

    We add graft material beneath the lifted membrane to build the bone height your future implant will need.

  5. 05

    Healing Time

    The graft is left to integrate and strengthen over a few months before your implant is placed, so the foundation is solid.

Signs You May Need a Sinus Lift

  • Missing Molars — Losing molars or premolars in the upper jaw often leads to bone loss that leaves too little height for an implant.

  • Thin Jawbone — When imaging shows the bone below the sinus is too thin or short, a sinus lift builds it back up for an implant.

  • Low Sinuses — Naturally large or low-sitting sinuses can leave little room for an implant, and a lift creates the space that is needed.

  • Long-Term Gaps — A gap in the upper back teeth left for years often means the bone has shrunk and needs rebuilding before implants.

I avoided dentist offices pretty heavily after being traumatized as a kid. I've been going to Dr. Tammy Tran for almost 4 years when I needed all my major work finally planned out and done. Dr. Tran and her entire office are very welcoming and thoughtful from the first intake appointment. Creating a treatment plan, finding specialists when needed for other work and all the payments/scheduling is a lot easier with this team. I'm beyond happy to have completed my treatment plan with her, thanks to their openness to working around my insurance and work schedule. Love love love this office and I wouldn't have wanted my treatment done by anyone else. Also happy to say that I don't have nearly as much anxiety sitting in a dentist chair :)

I was referred to Dr. Tran by an oral surgeon. I had lost a front tooth and thought I needed an implant. I entered Dr. Tran's office hesitant as I was unsure if this is the route I wanted to take. Dr. Tran very quickly put me at ease. She is extremely thorough. She took the time to expertly evaluate my situation and came up with a solution that I did not know was even possible. Not to mention she executed my new bridge perfectly. It was a difficult place in the mouth to place a bridge — in the front. But her skill and artistry is unmatched. I could not be happier with my new smile. She restored not only my teeth, but also restored my self confidence. I am able to smile without thinking if my once missing tooth is visible.

I feel very comfortable going to Dr. Tran's office. The staff and everyone there have treated me and my husband with respect. They always give me information on how the health of my gums and teeth are doing and feedback on ways I can maintain or improve my oral care. My husband has a lot of issues with his teeth and has felt embarrassed in other offices due to his complicated situation but with Dr. Tran and her staff he has felt very comfortable and has not been made to feel bad or guilty about the condition of his teeth. He has had to get a lot of work done but we were able to get a convenient payment plan that works with our budget. I highly recommend this office.

The dentist office is very clean, bright, and comfortable with wonderful receptionists who are very professional and friendly. When I went to the dentist the first time, the assistant who took me to my seat in the back was very friendly and calmed me down since I get very nervous at the dentist. Dr. Tran was amazing and very informative about everything that I could do about my teeth. She understands that people are not always fans of going to the dentist and is very patient. The staff recognize me and know who I am, even though I have not been there long, and it is a very welcoming experience. I will not be going to any other dentist office but this one.

I was lucky enough to find Dr Tran when I was dealing with excruciating pain from a cavity. I called and was able to book a consultation where she explained to me what was going on and where the pain came from. She even showed me pictures. I told her I needed to get it fixed ASAP or else I wouldn't be able to eat. She worked through her lunch to fill my cavity!! I was and still am so grateful. The best thing about Dr Tran is she makes numbing shots painless! And I'm the worst with shots and/or needles. She always makes me feel comfortable. I used to hate going to the dentist and she makes it bearable. And front staff is just as great!

I've been visiting Dr. Tran's office for a little over a year now and have had nothing but the best experiences. I tend to be a nervous patient when it comes to dental work. But from the friendly ladies at the front desk to the dental technicians who take the time to hold normal conversations and check in with me, I now actually look forward to my biannual visits. Last year, I had to get my first root canal, and Dr. Tran was amazing. She walked me through the procedure step by step and really helped put me at ease. If you're looking for a local dental office that's both professional and personable, I couldn't recommend them more!

As someone who HATES going to the dentist, this office has been changing the way I view my dental experience. The staff here is absolutely fantastic and consistently provide great service with a smile. The receptionists, the assistants, the finance coordinator and the dentists have always been kind and supportive; which goes a LONG way when you get anxious in a dental setting. The office itself is very modern/clean in a plaza that has plentiful parking. One of my favorite aspects of this office is the communication. They do a great job at explaining why the suggested work needs to be done without making you feel bad about asking!

I had originally gone for an emergency appointment during Covid lockdown and were so amazing but didn't take my dental insurance. Im also terrified of going to the dentist and they were amazing. I ended up switching my dental insurance just so I could come here. Was just there a few days ago and the technician was amazing and explained everything in detail and always asked if I was ok or had any questions. The oral hygienist was amazing and kind. My teeth were not in the best shape and not once did I feel judged. They've been so amazing. I have some work coming up in a week and I know I'm in good hands.

Absolutely loved having this place be my dentist and teeth care. I have lived all over the country and found this place literally to be the best dentist office I've ever been to. It's a bright cheery clean office. They all are kind, and explained everything I needed. They use state of the art xray maps of your mouth showing and backing up problem areas, while the doctor and assistants explain your needs. I felt they really cared to explain insurance coverage and the lack of insurance coverage with the dollar amounts to avoid shock. I am happy to recommend this office to my friends and anyone who asks.

I've had several visits with Dr. Tammy Tran over the past year, and every experience has been excellent. The entire team provides a welcoming and comforting environment, always attentive to my comfort and concerns. The procedures are quick, thorough, and handled with great care. I especially appreciate how effective they are at numbing my gums—something that has been an issue for me at other offices in the past, but never here. Their attention to detail and patient care stands out, and I always leave feeling well taken care of. Thank you to Dr. Tran and the staff for the consistently great work!

All of my experiences have been phenomenal! I love the atmosphere in the office, as well as how the staff treats and looks after me while I'm there. They definitely get the highest recommendation from me as a patient. Donta is an awesome hygienist who cares about every patient he gets the honor to assist. He's thorough as well as detailed during my cleanings. He offers great information on how to keep my teeth healthy and clean. Doctor Tran is an awesome dentist who gives you nothing but excellent care. 10/10 for Tammy N Tran DDS.

Dr. Tran is absolutely the best dentist we've ever been to! They are incredibly gentle and always take the time to explain every step of the procedure clearly, which really helped ease my husband's dental anxiety. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, and we always leave feeling confident about our oral health. We recently had our maintenance done for the entire family of 4 with minimal discomfort, and the results are perfect. I would highly recommend Dr. Tran's to anyone looking for a top-notch dental experience.

I have been coming to this office for cleanings for a while now, and I have to say their service is exceptional! The entire staff is always so friendly, caring, and thoughtful. The girls at the reception are always on top of your appointments, and they make sure to call or text a day or two before your appointment. Donta has been cleaning my teeth for a while now, and he is AWESOME!! I wouldn't trust anyone else to clean my teeth. He is thorough and gentle. Thank you for taking such good care of me!

I have always had problems with my gums and with cavities but since Dr. Tran recommended cleanings three times a year instead of two, it has been a game changer. My gums and teeth are the healthiest they have ever been. The third cleaning isn't covered by insurance but the price is reasonable and fair and I am actually saving money by not having to pay for extensive dental work that isn't covered (crowns, etc) that I was always paying for years.

Came to my appointment and they took care of me on time. No wasting time. I love that. And everyone gave me a great smile and warm welcome. They just moved to a new place it is bigger place. Has new machines and everything is clean. I am glad they were able to make an appointment non urgent but called like 3 days before. I am a busy person and I am glad they took me for appointment in short notice. This is 3rd time I go there.

Definitely the best dental office I've ever visited. Been coming in for one thing or another every 2-4 months for the last couple of years and have always received extremely professional and friendly care. Dr. Tran is amazing, and I've been treated by at least five of her hygienists and every single one has been both professional and friendly as well. Even if I moved further away, I think I would keep going back to Dr. Tran.

Dr Tammy Tran is the best dentist that I know of. Me and my family have been her patients for over 20 years. She's great at tooth extractions, replacing crowns and fillings. Very thorough exams, including x-rays and cleanings, as well as deep cleanings. She's best at making it all very painless. Her staff is very professional and courteous. I hope she remains my go to dentist for the rest of my life. Thank you, Dr Tran!

Frequently Asked Questions about Sinus Lifts

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (562) 912-4097.

Is a sinus lift painful?

No. The area is fully numbed, and oral sedation is available, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Mild swelling or tenderness afterward is normal and manageable.

Why do I need a sinus lift for an implant?

Upper back teeth sit close to the sinuses, and when the bone there is too thin, a sinus lift builds the height an implant needs to anchor securely.

How long does healing take before an implant?

The graft usually needs a few months to integrate and strengthen before an implant is placed, though the timing depends on your case.

Can the sinus lift and implant be done together?

Sometimes, yes. When enough bone remains to start, we can place the graft and implant in one procedure; otherwise, we stage them for the best result.

How much does a sinus lift cost?

The cost of a sinus lift in Long Beach, CA, depends on the extent of grafting your case needs. Our team will review the full plan with you before we begin, and flexible financing options are available whenever they would help.

Does insurance cover a sinus lift?

Often, yes. Because a sinus lift is part of restoring your bite, many PPO plans help cover it, and we accept Medicare. Our team will confirm your benefits for a sinus lift in Long Beach, CA, before treatment.
