A sinus lift may be needed before implant placement in the back-tooth area of the upper jaw. The consultation assesses whether the procedure is necessary, which approach is suitable and the treatment estimate.
SDC Clinic in Vilnius is open every day, 08:00–24:00.
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that increases bone volume beneath the maxillary sinus. The sinus membrane is lifted to create space for bone graft material so that implant placement can be planned.
It is considered when there is insufficient bone for an implant in the back-tooth area of the upper jaw. The decision follows an examination and any necessary radiological imaging.
The open approach accesses the sinus from the side of the jaw; the closed approach uses the site prepared for the implant. The choice depends on the existing bone and treatment plan. The implant may be placed at the same time or at a later stage.
The SDC price list specifies:
These are procedure fees, not the price of the entire implant and prosthetic treatment. Request an individual estimate and check the current price list. Read about treatment stages on the dental implants page.
Healing and subsequent implant placement times vary. Possible complications include pain, swelling, bleeding, membrane damage, infection or insufficient bone formation. Follow your surgeon’s instructions. Contact the dentist if pain or swelling increases, you develop a fever or bleeding does not stop.
No. It is considered only for a specific lack of bone in the back-tooth area of the upper jaw.
Sometimes, but a separate healing stage may be required. The dentist decides according to the clinical situation.
The price list separately specifies the sinus lift procedure including material. Implant placement and prosthetic costs are assessed in the treatment estimate.
Book a consultation. The dentist will discuss whether a sinus lift is needed, possible alternatives and how it fits into the overall treatment plan.
