A method for performing an inferior lift in the sinus includes preparing an initial opening in the bone that is drilled to a depth just prior to reaching a sinus floor. Using a sonic drilling device, a final portion of the sinus floor is removed until a schneiderian membrane is reached. A bone graft is inserted into the opening, lifting said schneiderian membrane. After ossification of the bone graft, an implant is inserted into the opening and graft.
