If your dentist can’t place your dental implants because you don’t have enough bone height in the upper jaw or your sinuses are too close to the jaw, your dentist may recommend that you get a sinus lift. 

Common causes of bone loss include:

• Periodontal gum disease
• Losing teeth in your upper jaw
• Reabsorption of bone into the body after tooth loss
