Sinus lift

Maxillary sinus floor augmentation (also known as a sinus lift, sinus graft, sinus augmentation, or sinus procedure) is a surgical procedure to increase the amount of bone in the upper back part of the jaw (posterior maxilla). This is achieved by lifting the lower Schneiderian membrane and placing a bone graft.
