Why is sinus lifting necessary?
Successful implantation requires sufficient bone volume. Without sufficient bone volume, the implant will not be securely anchored and will not take root. This situation is common in the upper jaw, especially in the posterior teeth, where the maxillary sinus is located close to the roots.
When the bone is insufficient in height or volume, the doctor performs a sinus lift—a procedure to increase bone tissue by raising the floor of the maxillary sinus. This creates optimal conditions for implant placement and avoids the risks associated with implant instability.
At the VEDA STOM clinic, sinus lifts are performed using modern, minimally invasive protocols, 3D planning, and strict monitoring of all stages.
What is a sinus lift and when is it necessary?
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure in which the lining of the maxillary sinus is gently lifted upward, and the resulting space is filled with bone material. Once the required volume is created, the bone becomes strong enough to securely support the implant.
The procedure is prescribed for:
- congenitally low position of the maxillary sinus;
— long-term absence of chewing teeth;
- bone tissue atrophy due to inflammatory processes;
- individual anatomical features.
Having sufficient bone volume is a key factor in the success of implantation and the longevity of the result.
Types of sinus lift
Closed (minimally invasive)
It is performed when a small amount of bone is missing.
Through a small opening in the bone, the doctor lifts the sinus floor and adds bone material. In most cases, the implant can be placed immediately.
Advantages:
- minimal trauma,
- short operation time,
- quick recovery,
— possibility of one-stage implantation.
Open sinus lift
Used when the bone volume is very small.
The surgeon accesses the sinus through a lateral window, lifts the membrane, and introduces a larger amount of bone material.
Implantation can be performed either immediately or after 3–6 months, depending on the anatomical situation.
Both methods at VEDA STOM are performed using digital planning, which makes the surgery as precise, safe, and predictable as possible.
How is sinus lifting performed at VEDA STOM?
- 3D diagnostics and planning
Before the operation, a 3D tomography is performed to assess the bone height, sinus anatomy and distance to the most important structures.
The cost of a comprehensive diagnosis is 500,000 sum.
After diagnosis, the doctor draws up a detailed plan:
— type of sinus lift,
— volume of bone material,
— the possibility of one-stage implantation,
— recovery forecast.
- Conducting the operation
Sinus lifting is performed under local anesthesia, making the procedure comfortable and painless.
The doctor carefully lifts the maxillary sinus membrane and introduces bone material, forming the required volume of bone tissue.
The operation lasts 40–80 minutes depending on the method.
- Implantation (if possible)
If the bone tissue thickness allows, the implant is installed immediately.
Cost of implantation - from 6,000,000 sum.
- Recovery
After the surgery, the doctor monitors the healing process and prescribes recommendations and follow-up visits.
Typically, patients return to their normal routine within 1–2 days.
Rehabilitation and recommendations for the patient
After sinus lifting, it is important to follow the recommendations to ensure stable bone healing:
- avoid physical activity during the first few days;
— do not visit the bathhouse, sauna or swimming pool for 2 weeks;
— avoid blowing your nose hard and putting sudden pressure on the nasal area;
- take prescribed medications;
— undergo check-ups.
In most cases, recovery is quiet and the bone material integrates within a few months.
Benefits of sinus lift surgery at VEDA STOM
