Sinus Lift

What to expect

A sinus lift is a type of bone graft performed in the upper jaw, a surgical procedure intended to add bone in the upper jaw area, when there isn't enough bone to place dental implants. The procedure makes it possible to create suitable conditions for implants to integrate, while preserving the structure of the jaw and sinus. There are two main methods for performing the procedure, open lift and closed lift, chosen according to the condition of the bone.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

The treatment suits patients who need dental implants in the upper jaw, when there's a bone deficiency in the back area. Suitability is determined after an exam and imaging, usually using 3D imaging.

What the treatment process looks like

Treatment begins with diagnosis and precise planning of the structure of the bone and sinus. Based on the findings, the appropriate lift method is chosen. In a closed sinus lift, bone is added through the implant site, in a relatively gentle procedure. In an open sinus lift, direct access is made to the sinus area and a larger amount of bone is added. After the procedure, a healing period is required, after which the dental implant can be placed.

FAQs

A surgical procedure to add bone in the upper jaw for the purpose of dental implants.

A closed lift is performed through the implant site and suits mild cases, while an open lift allows a more significant bone addition.

The treatment is done under local anesthesia, and some temporary discomfort may follow.

Healing time varies, usually several months before implant placement.

No, only when there isn't enough bone in the area.

It's a surgical procedure that requires precise planning, but is carried out in a controlled, safe way.
