When it is done
When you want an implant in place of upper molars and the 3D image shows the bone height is not sufficient.
How it works
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. Depending on the amount of bone, the implant is placed together with the sinus lift, or after healing, usually a few months later.
After the procedure
- For a few days, do not blow your nose hard and sneeze with your mouth open.
- Discuss flying, diving and physical exertion with the dentist.
- Mild swelling or a nosebleed are normal. If you have a fever or it gets worse, call us.
Price
Sinus lift from 450 €; the price does not include bone material. Other prices are in our price list.
Frequently asked questions
Is a sinus lift safe?
It is a routine procedure. The dentist explains the risks beforehand, such as possible sinus inflammation.
Can I have the implant straight away?
If there is not too little bone, often yes. With very thin bone, the implant is placed after healing.
