Book a check-up
First comes a check-up and a plan
The dentist examines you, takes a scan and explains the options and their cost before any work begins. The decision stays with you.
The sinus floor is raised
The surgeon gently lifts the membrane and adds bone material beneath it.

You get written advice and arrange a follow-up visit.
