Sinus lift

A sinus lift, also known as maxillary sinus elevation, is a surgical procedure designed to increase bone volume in the upper jaw (specifically in the premolar and molar areas) when the existing bone is insufficient for a dental implant. This is often necessary after long-term tooth loss, which causes the sinus cavity to expand downward, reducing the available space for implants.

At our clinic, sinus lift procedures are performed by oral surgery and implantology specialists using minimally invasive techniques and biocompatible bone graft materials. The goal is to create a healthy and stable bone foundation to ensure the long-term success of your dental implant.

When Is Sinus Lift Recommended and What Does It Involve?

Sinus lift is indicated when:

  • A dental implant is planned in the upper jaw, but the bone is too thin
  • There is bone loss after extractions
  • The sinus cavity has expanded or is too close to the jaw ridge
  • Full prosthetic rehabilitation of the upper arch is needed

Procedure steps:

  • Dental consultation and 3D CT scan to evaluate bone and sinus anatomy
  • Creating a small access point in the jawbone
  • Carefully lifting the sinus membrane
  • Placing bone graft material in the space created
  • Healing period of 4–6 months before implant placement

The intervention is done under local anesthesia and is completely painless. After healing, the patient has a reinforced bone structure, ideal for stable, long-lasting dental implants.
