Bone augmentation
A stable, safe, and long-term solution for tooth replacement, with a treatment plan tailored to your smile.
Sinus lift
A surgical procedure that increases the amount of bone in the posterior part of the upper jaw to create conditions for the stable placement of implants.
CANDIDATES
Is a sinus lift necessary in your case?
In the posterior part of the upper jaw, bone volume may be limited due to the proximity of the maxillary sinus, the anatomy of the area, or bone loss following tooth extraction.
A sinus lift may be necessary when, without additional bone support, the implant cannot be placed in the proper position and the required stability cannot be achieved.
The capture can be considered if:
A sinus lift may be necessary when, without additional bone support, the implant cannot be placed in the proper position and the required stability cannot be achieved.
The capture can be considered if:
-
you are missing one or more back teeth in the upper jaw
-
The bone beneath the sinus is too low for the planned implant
-
has there been a loss of bone volume after tooth extraction
-
sinus anatomy limits available bone height
-
You are planning an implant in the upper premolar or molar region
-
Additional bone support is needed before implant therapy.
Bone augmentation beneath the sinus
A sinus lift is a procedure in which the membrane of the maxillary sinus is carefully lifted and bone material is added to the resulting space.
In this way, the bone height is increased in the area where the implant placement is planned later.
Depending on the amount of existing bone and the extent of the procedure, the implant can be placed simultaneously with the sinus lift or after a healing period.

Small or large sinus lift — what is the difference?
There are multiple approaches to a sinus lift, and the choice depends primarily on the amount of existing bone.
For a minor defect, a less invasive approach can be applied through the area of the planned implant. When there is significantly less bone, a lateral approach may be necessary, allowing for a greater extent of augmentation.
Which procedure is more appropriate is determined after evaluating the sinus anatomy, bone height, and the implant therapy plan.

DC360 PROCESS
What does the procedure look like?
01
Review and record
We are assessing the bone volume, sinus position, and anatomy of the planned implantation area.
02
Procedure planning
We determine the type of sinus lift and whether an implant can be placed in the same procedure.
03
Area preparation
The procedure is most commonly performed under local anesthesia.
04
Sinus lift
The sinus membrane is carefully detached to create space for bone augmentation.
05
Bone grafting
Bone material is placed into the prepared site according to an individual plan.
06
Healing and continuation of therapy
After the procedure, we monitor the healing and plan the placement of the implant or the continuation of prosthetic therapy.

PRICE
What affects the price of a sinus lift?
The price depends on the scope of the procedure, the amount of augmentation needed, and whether the implantation is performed in the same or a separate phase.
After the examination, you will receive a clear treatment plan and information on the expected costs.

A sinus lift may be recommended when there is not enough bone height in the back of the upper jaw for the planned implant placement.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. Swelling, tenderness, or discomfort may occur after the procedure, depending on its extent.
Initial swelling and discomfort usually subside before complete bone healing. The time required for the stabilization of the area is determined individually.
In some patients, the implant can be placed simultaneously with a sinus lift, while in cases of greater bone deficiency, it is necessary to wait for healing.
Bone augmentation is a broader term for various bone grafting procedures. A sinus lift specifically refers to increasing the amount of bone beneath the maxillary sinus.
No. It is only necessary when the available bone volume and sinus anatomy do not allow for proper implant placement.
As with other surgical procedures, swelling, bleeding, infection, or complications related to the sinus membrane are possible. Individual risks are explained prior to the procedure.
After the procedure, you will receive individual instructions. It is especially important to avoid activities that create sudden pressure changes in the sinus area during initial healing.
