Advanced Sinus Lifts in Plymouth
Are you ready for implants but lacking bone density?
A sinus lift is a more advanced procedure if there’s not enough bone height in your upper jaw or your sinuses are too close to your jaw for dental implants to fit.
Although healing can take several months, it ensures long-term implant success.
Our Principal Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst, is an internationally trained Cosmetic Dentist who has just celebrated 40 years in dentistry.
Dr Bronkhorst has advanced training in placing Dental Implants, is an experienced Invisalign Provider, and has a special interest in Sedation for nervous patients.
From our state-of-the-art clinic near Mutley Plain, we serve patients from across Ocean City, including Plympton, Plymstock, Stoke Village and Derriford, and are conveniently located for those travelling from Saltash, Torpoint and Ivybridge.

Treatment Overview
Dr Bronkhorst brings 40 years of expertise to perform your Sinus Lift right here in Plymouth—no outside referrals needed.
A Sinus Lift is where synthetic bone is added between your jaw and the sinuses on either side of your nose so that there’s enough bone for your implant to be fitted. The sinus membrane has to be elevated, or “lifted,” to make room for the new bone.
If you’re concerned about the cost, we offer affordable financing plans, including 0% finance, starting from less than £15 per week.

Sinus Lifts FAQ
Is a sinus lift and bone graft procedure painful?
Local anaesthetic is used to carry out the procedure so that there is no pain during the surgery. If you prefer, sedation is also available.
What is the recovery process? Sneezing, blowing your nose, and healing times.
After your appointment, your face may feel slightly swollen or tender for a few days, and you may be prescribed antibiotics to prevent any infections.
For the first two weeks:
You’ll then have a follow-up appointment with us after 14 days for a check-up and to have your stitches removed.
If you’ve had a Sinus Lift, you should also:
If you have hay fever or other allergies, schedule your sinus lift for an out-of-season date.
How long after a sinus lift can I have a dental implant fitted?
Though you will feel fine within a couple of weeks, the sinus lift must heal and harden for 3-6 months before the implant can be fitted.
What are the risks? Can a sinus lift fail?
Although most sinus lift operations are successful, they can fail if the synthetic bone material fails to integrate with your natural bone.
One of the biggest dangers is the added bone material becoming dislodged during healing, so you are told not to blow your nose or try not to sneeze for the first two weeks.
Will a sinus lift change the appearance of my face?
If you’ve had teeth missing for a while, a sinus lift with implants can help your jawbone start reversing bone loss and the sunken look that goes with it.
Where do you get the bone from for a sinus lift?
We use the latest technique for stimulating new bone growth – a stem cell-based synthetic material similar to your natural bone. As your new, natural bone regenerates, it replaces the synthetic material.
