What is a sinus lift?
Όταν το οστό της άνω γνάθου δεν έχει επαρκές ύψος λόγω φυσιολογικής ατροφίας ή παλαιάς εξαγωγής, μετακινούμε προσεκτικά την μεμβράνη του ιγμορείου προς τα πάνω και τοποθετούμε οστικό μόσχευμα. Έτσι αυξάνεται το διαθέσιμο ύψος οστού ώστε να τοποθετηθούν εμφυτεύματα με τη σωστή στήριξη.
When the sinus lift?
A small amount of bone in the upper rear area (collateral/molars).
Μεγάλη ατροφία μετά από χρόνια απώλεια δοντιών.
Previous sinonasal surgery or anatomical variations that reduce the available bone height to the maxillary sinus (floor).
The need to be confirmed with clinical examination and CBCT.
Types of sinus lifting: Internal & External
Internal (crestal): small access from the point of the implant· this is useful when you are missing a few millimeters of bone. Often combined with direct placement of the implant.
External (lateral window): it is created little “window” in the lateral bone of the upper jaw in order to lift the membrane and placed most of the volume of graft· this is useful in larger gaps.
Process step-by-step
Assessment: clinical examination, CBCT, medical history.
Design: option internal/external technical, selection of biomaterials (implants, membranes, PRF/CGF where appropriate).
Surgery under local anesthesia: painless, with mild manipulations and meticulous hemostasis.
Post-operative care: instructions for medication, avoid strenuous nasal pressure/sneezing with closed mouth, etc.
Osseointegration: healing a few months before the final charge; where stability permits, he can implant directly.
Healing time & success rates
The healing process usually ranges from 4 to 6 months (depending on the volume of graft, technique and biology of tissue). With correct indication and technique, the success rate is very high. Regular maintenance and control of the practice remain decisive.
Risks & contraindications of sinus lifting
Possible complications include perforation membrane, swelling/bruising, transient irritation or, more rarely, sinusitis. Pre-existing sinus infections are treated before surgery. In smokers or in systemic diseases, the strategy should be individualised. Follow the post-operative instructions.
What is the cost of sinus lifting?
The cost depends on the technique (internal/external), the volume/type of graft, any membranes/PRF, the need for additional operations, and if possible at the same time the implant. After examination, we provide personalized written assessment and great choice of interest free instalments.
