Sinus Lift: Create Safe Space for Upper Implants

Dr Vladimir Kljajo

1 min read

Upper back teeth sit close to the maxillary sinus. If bone height is limited, a sinus lift gently raises the sinus membrane and adds graft material, creating room for implants that last.

Approaches we use

  • Lateral window: For larger lifts and significant height increases
  • Crestal (internal) lift: For smaller height gains with minimal access

Planning and safety

  • Orthophos SL 3D imaging to map sinus anatomy
  • Precise instruments and graft selection
  • Healing time before implant placement (varies by case)

Benefits

  • Enables implant placement where it wasn’t possible before
  • Supports stable chewing and long-term function
  • Often combined with bone grafting for reliable volume

Next step

Book a sinus assessment in Poreč to learn which approach fits your anatomy and implant goals.

FAQs

Q: When is a sinus lift needed?

When upper molar/premolar regions lack bone height for implants.

Q: Which approach is used?

Lateral for larger lifts; crestal (internal) for smaller height gains.

Q: How long is healing?

Typically 4–9 months before implant placement, case-dependent.

Q: Are complications common?

With 3D planning and careful technique, risks are minimised.
