Accurate planning
CBCT-based planning and risk assessment.
Preparation for implants when bone is deficient.
Sinus lift
When upper-jaw bone height is insufficient, we gently elevate the sinus floor and rebuild bone to place a stable implant.
Accurate planning
CBCT-based planning and risk assessment.
Atraumatic technique
Micro-tools, membranes, careful sinus handling.
Predictability
High success rates with regenerative protocols.
What it is & when used
After the loss of upper back teeth, there may be insufficient bone under the sinus for an implant. Sinus augmentation raises the lining; it does not fill the whole sinus cavity.
- Bone volume augmentation in posterior maxilla.
- Approaches: crestal (transalveolar) or lateral window.
- Immediate or delayed implant placement depending on bone.
- Regeneration with graft materials and membranes.
Why it matters
Sinus augmentation is one preparation option, not a requirement for every implant. Alternatives, possible complications and treatment stages are discussed at consultation.
- Provides adequate height for long-term implant stability.
- Reduces complications thanks to predictable osseointegration.
- Lets you avoid removable dentures and restore chewing.
Steps
- 01DiagnosticsCBCT, volume calculation, approach selection.
- 02AnesthesiaLocal/STA; sedation if indicated.
- 03Sinus elevationSchneiderian membrane lift; graft insertion.
- 04ImplantImmediate or after 4–8 months of healing.
- 05Follow-upReviews, suture removal, check CBCT as planned.

Why MasterDent
Atraumatic technique
Micro-tools, membranes, careful sinus handling.
Predictability

Transparent pricing

Indications
The decision is not based on a single bone-height measurement. CBCT findings, sinus health, the restoration plan and general health are considered; ENT assessment may be needed.
- Bone height < 6–8 mm in posterior maxilla.
- Sinus pneumatization after tooth loss.
- Planning implants instead of a removable denture.
Aftercare
Swelling, bruising and discomfort can occur after surgery. Healing and readiness for implants are assessed individually, rather than confirmed by a calendar date alone.
- Cold packs on/off first day; sleep with head elevated.
- Do not blow your nose 10–14 days; sneeze with mouth open; avoid flights/diving 2–3 weeks.
- Soft diet 3–5 days; antiseptic rinses/gels as instructed.
- Antibiotics/analgesics only as prescribed; avoid heat over the area.
- Call us urgently if bleeding, swelling or nasal leakage occurs.

Bone graft material sits below the sinus lining
The surgeon gently lifts the thin membrane to make space for graft material. The augmented area is assessed during healing before the next implant stage.

Bone augmentation and implant prices
These are related price-list items, not a standalone sinus augmentation price. The full cost including materials and stages is confirmed after CBCT assessment.
Please confirm the price at consultation.
Sinus lift before implants: planning, cost and follow-up
Why bone may be insufficient
Bone volume can change after upper posterior teeth are lost. The sinus position may limit implant placement. A sinus lift creates space for graft material beneath the sinus lining.
Not everyone needs this procedure. Imaging and the planned restoration guide the choice between augmentation and other options.
Explore dental implant treatment.
Lateral or crestal approach
The approaches differ in access: through the future implant site or through a lateral opening. Selection is based on anatomy and the required augmentation, not the name of the procedure alone.
Sinus concerns may require an ENT assessment. CBCT is performed at a diagnostic centre following referral; MasterDent has no on-site CBCT scanner.
Immediate or staged implant placement
An implant can sometimes be placed during augmentation if stability and clinical conditions allow. Otherwise, it is placed after healing has been assessed.
The plan accounts for the position of the final crown and loading. Time alone does not establish that the area is ready.

Frequently asked questions
Does everyone need a sinus lift before implants?
No. It may be indicated when bone below the upper jaw sinus is insufficient. Anatomy and the restoration plan determine whether augmentation or another option is appropriate.
What is the difference between lateral and crestal sinus lift?
The access differs: through the planned implant site or a lateral opening. Anatomy, clinical conditions and the amount of augmentation needed guide the choice.
Can I have CBCT at MasterDent?
The clinic has no on-site CBCT scanner. The surgeon reviews three-dimensional imaging and refers you to a diagnostic centre if needed. Bring any existing scans to the consultation.
Can the implant be placed at the same appointment?
Sometimes, if clinical conditions allow adequate stability. This is not decided by one bone measurement or torque value alone. Otherwise, placement is staged after healing assessment.
How much does sinus lift including graft material cost?
There is no separately confirmed fee in the current price list. Related procedures shown on this page are not the total price. The surgeon explains surgery, materials, implant placement and follow-up in your estimate.
Can I have surgery with sinusitis or sinus problems?
Tell the surgeon about symptoms and previous sinus disease. Additional assessment or an ENT consultation may be needed before deciding on timing.
How long is recovery and when can I have a crown?
Early comfort, bone healing and readiness for restoration follow different timelines. The next stage depends on examination, implant condition and the prosthetic plan.
Read about implant-supported crowns.
What restrictions apply after surgery?
Follow your surgeon’s specific instructions about nose blowing, exercise, food and cleaning. Discuss sneezing, flights and diving. Do not change prescribed medication on your own.
Which symptoms should I report?
Contact the surgeon for persistent bleeding, worsening pain or swelling, fever, unusual discharge or feeling unwell. Do not wait for a routine appointment if your condition worsens.
