Getting You on Track for Implants


Experienced Surgeon

Dr. Gregory Anderson is a board-certified Diplomate of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. With over 30 years in practice, he's the surgeon other dentists turn to for complex cases and surgical complications.

Accessible for Questions

Our oral surgeon in Salt Lake City, UT, calls patients after their procedures to check on them, and may even provide you with his personal phone number should questions or concerns arise. Surgical procedures like sinus lifts come with post-op instructions, so having direct access to your surgeon during recovery can be a real comfort.

Everything You’ll Need

A sinus lift can help prepare you for dental implants, but if that’s not all you need, you can rest assured that Dr. Anderson can help. If you also need bone grafting in your lower jaw, nerve repositioning, or tooth extraction, we have you covered.

Quality Care You Can Afford


The cost of your sinus lift will depend on the complexity of the case and the type of grafting material used. Our prices are competitive for the Salt Lake City, West Jordan, and Centerville areas, and we go even further to make our care affordable:

Dental Insurance

Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the procedure when it's medically necessary for implant placement. We accept PPO plans and providers like Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, MetLife, and UnitedHealthcare, as well as local insurances like SelectHealth and DMBA.

CareCredit Financing

We accept financing through CareCredit® to help break your out-of-pocket costs into manageable monthly payments.

Free Consultations

There is no financial commitment to find out whether you qualify for a sinus lift, what the procedure involves, and what it will cost. Call us today to book your free consultation with Dr. Anderson.

Day of Procedure

“It was painless, quick, and affordable. I have had 6 implants done here and I am very pleased. I will have all dental work for me and my family done here. The staff was excellent.  I give Dr. Isrealson and his staff two thumbs up.” Jason, 5-Star Review

Anesthesia

Dr. Anderson will administer local anesthesia so you don’t feel any pain. We also have sedation options available if you wish to relax throughout your procedure.

Incisions

Your oral surgeon will make incisions in your gums near the back upper teeth.

Lift

Dr. Anderson will gently push the membrane lining your maxillary sinus upward to create space.

Fill

Dr. Anderson will fill the space he created with bone grafting material and close your incisions.

Fuse

Over time, the bone grafting material will fuse with your jawbone and become part of your anatomy. This will create a stronger foundation for dental implants.

Your Implant Surgery

Once your jawbone has healed, you’ll be ready to come back to one of our offices serving Salt Lake City, West Jordan, and Centerville for your dental implant placement surgery. Dr. Anderson will place your implants, and they will fuse to your jawbone over the next three to six months. Once your implants are stable, your dentist can place your final crown, bridge, or denture.

FAQ About Sinus Lifts

How long does it take to heal after a sinus lift?

Healing typically takes four to nine months, depending on the type of grafting material used and how much bone needs to regenerate. During this time, the grafted material integrates with your natural bone. Your surgeon will monitor your progress and let you know when your jaw is ready for dental implants.

Are there any restrictions after surgery?

Yes, but they're temporary. For the first week or so, avoid blowing your nose, drinking through a straw, and strenuous physical activity. All of these can create pressure that may disrupt the graft. If you smoke, you'll be advised to stop long before and after the procedure, as smoking significantly slows healing. Dr. Anderson will give you detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.

Who should perform a sinus lift?

Because of how close the surgical site is to the sinus cavity, it's important to choose a provider who has the training, imaging technology, and surgical experience to handle the procedure safely. Dr. Anderson is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, making him a prime choice to perform this procedure.
