Our dentists need to get a good look at your jawbone to determine if you need a sinus lift procedure. To do so, they will likely use our 3-D CT scanner, a special kind of X-ray that reveals far more detail than a conventional X-ray. It helps our implant dentists plan and perform your surgery. The upper back jaw is one of the trickiest areas to place implants because of its proximity to your sinus cavity.
For your procedure, they will:
Depending on the implant procedure you plan to receive, new bone will be allowed to develop for a few months prior to implant placement. In some cases, however, it’s possible to receive your implant immediately after your sinus lift.
Whether you’re receiving a sinus lift or implant placement, you will benefit from the expertise of our dentists. Among them is Dr. Daniel Le Pera, who has a certification in osseous (bone) reconstruction and has completed advanced training in implantology.

Great dentist and staff. Very glad I chose to come here for my dental visit. Definitely recommend to friends and family!
This was my first visit at a new dentist office and I was nervous to get my checkup. I enjoyed my hygienist Carmen, the cleaning it was very thorough and the staff was very professional. I will definitely be back for my 6 month visit!
Dr. LaPera had been my dentist for 15 years. He is extremely professional and has a wonderful pleasant manner. I recommended him to a friend from NYC and she now goes regularly. I am fortunate to have found him when I moved from NY.
Excellent dental practice. I have been a patient for 20 years. The doctors and staff are professional, on time and caring. Great communication and they always put the patient’s needs first. I have recommended Summit Dental to other friends who have also been highly satisfied. My teeth love these guys.
This is the best dentist I have been to. The place is very clean they have been sanitizing everything down before covid-19 came into existence. The doctor is the best dentist i know of he is very kind, patient, and gentle. His work is perfect.
I would highly recommend this dental practice for all dental care. Dr. Le Pera is a true perfectionist and his care for the patients is his main priority. My experience is my main focus to this review. The staff is very courteous and knowledgeable. Carmen, the Hygienist, is also a wonderful asset to the practice. She is thorough with her cleanings and care for her patients. Definitely an A+
Loved my hygienist Carmen. She gave me lots of helpful tips and didn’t use electric tools to clean. I loved this because I have a lot of sensitivity and the electric tools exacerbates my symptoms. Which means she listened to my worries and honored them. Dr. Le Pera is awesome as always and keeps me well informed.
Really the best dentist I could ever ask for. I know they are a trusted source and Dr. L is truly one of a kind. Someone who genuinely cares about his clients- it always feels like family. I do all my work here- what I love is that if Dr. L is super honest – and if he knows of someone better suited for a particular procedure he will tell me transparently and recommend the best. No dentist can beat him. He doesn’t look to do more work than needed and always takes a conservative approach to help retain your natural teeth as much as possible. (Important to me since I’ve broken my 3 front teeth in half due to a fall and he’s done brilliant veneers). The receptionist and support staff are lovely as well. And if you need a cleaning ask for Carmen – she’s fantastic.
From the warm welcome upon arrival, to the thorough cleaning by Carmen the Hygienist, to the professional and gentle exam by Dr Le Pera, my experience was terrific. I’ll be back!
Most of our sinus lift patients experience only minor discomfort during and after this procedure. Our dental team is trained to deliver the most pleasant dental visits we can, plus we offer several types of sedation to help you relax. Choose from inhaled sedation with laughing gas, oral sedation using a small pill, and deep sedation that will put you in a dreamlike state.
It is necessary to perform a sinus lift if a patient needs upper implants but their upper jaw is not strong or thick enough to support them. Additionally, the sinus membrane is often in the way of implants. A sinus lift moves the sinuses up and makes room for added bone material that will help strengthen the jawbone. In a few months, the upper jaw will be ready for implants.
The success rate of a sinus lift can ultimately depend on a number of factors. The health of the patient and the condition of their jaw can both play big roles in how successful a sinus lift is. At Summit Dental, the dentist performing your sinus lift will be well trained and experienced, giving you peace of mind about the success of your procedure.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
