Open and closed sinus lift
- Type of procedure
- Need for additional bone material
- Qualifications of the surgeon and clinic
The price of sinus lift depends on the complexity of the specific case, the scope of the intervention and the materials selected, as well as the qualifications of the dentist.
Anesthesia station for dental treatment under general anesthesia.
Target shot.
The ability to solve the most difficult tasks.
Minimal incisions during surgical treatment.
Before the sinus lift, the doctor conducts a detailed examination, including X-rays or CT scans, to assess the condition of the bone and sinuses.
At this stage, it is also determined which type of sinus lift (open or closed) is suitable for the patient, based on the amount of correction required. The patient receives recommendations on how to prepare for the surgery, including medications and restrictions before the procedure.
Before the procedure, local anesthesia is administered to completely numb the area of intervention. In the case of an open sinus lift, the doctor makes a small incision in the gum, opening access to the maxillary sinus. In the case of a closed sinus lift, the incision is minimal and is made directly at the site of implant installation.
During an open sinus lift, the surgeon gently lifts the maxillary sinus membrane, creating space for the introduction of bone material. This material can be natural or synthetic and serves as a basis for future bone tissue formation.
In the case of a closed sinus lift, the membrane is lifted through the hole created for the implant, after which bone is added through the same access.
Once the procedure is complete, the wound is closed and the patient is given instructions on how to care for the postoperative area. It is important to rest, avoid physical activity, and follow the prescribed course of medications.
Swelling and mild discomfort may occur for several weeks, but will gradually disappear. Postoperative visits to the doctor are necessary to monitor the healing process.
Sinus lift is a surgical procedure that increases the amount of bone tissue in the upper jaw in the sinus area. It is necessary when the bone is not thick enough to accommodate dental implants.
With age or after a long period of tooth loss, bone tissue can atrophy, making it impossible to install an implant. Sinus lift allows you to lift the sinus membrane and fill the space with bone material, creating a stable base for implantation.
Open sinus lift is performed when it is necessary to significantly increase the bone volume. To do this, the surgeon makes an incision in the gum, opens access to the maxillary sinus and lifts the membrane, after which he fills the cavity with bone material.
Closed sinus lift is used when minimal correction of bone tissue volume is required. In this case, the sinus membrane is lifted through the hole created for the installation of the implant, without significant surgical intervention. The closed method is less invasive and is accompanied by a faster recovery.
Sinus lift is performed under local anesthesia, which makes the procedure painless. The patient does not feel pain during the operation, but may feel some pressure or discomfort. After the procedure, swelling and mild pain are possible, which can be controlled with painkillers.
Doctors also recommend avoiding physical activity during the first days after surgery to reduce the risk of complications.
Primary healing after sinus lift takes about 10-14 days. However, complete integration of bone material and restoration of bone volume may take 3 to 6 months.
During this time, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and attend regular check-ups. If implants were installed, their full loading is usually possible only after bone tissue restoration is complete.
