Sinus lifting in Lviv

Indications for Sinus Lift Procedure

1. Atrophy of the jawbone after a prolonged absence of teeth. This problem develops due to the lack of compressive load during chewing. It occurs both after tooth extraction and in cases of severe damage.
2. Insufficient bone height. Indications for closed sinus lift may also include anatomically low positioning of the maxillary sinuses. This often leads to reduced bone height and problems with implant fixation.
3. Need to place an implant in the area of molars. Most often, bone graft material is added to the upper jaw. However, the procedure may also be indicated for implant placement in the lower jaw — especially in cases of oral cavity defects.
4. Complications from previous prosthetics. If a prosthesis could not be properly attached or fell out over time, it is important to address the underlying issue. Usually, sinus lift and bone augmentation are recommended in such situations.

Advantages of the Sinus Lift Procedure

The main advantage is the possibility of implant placement and reliable prosthesis fixation after sinus lift. In many cases, this procedure is indispensable — it cannot be avoided even with the use of innovative technologies and materials.

Other benefits of the sinus lift include:

• Restoration of the natural facial contour. The main problem after tooth extraction is bone resorption. This changes facial proportions and leads to sagging skin.
• Bite correction. The use of bone graft material allows restoration of the proper dental arch. This eliminates problems related to speech and chewing, as well as discomfort at rest.
• Disease prevention. Uneven load on the jaws increases the risk of tooth destruction and can lead to chronic diseases. Therefore, it is better to place an implant immediately after tooth extraction — and often bone grafting is necessary to do so.

Types of Sinus Lift

Closed Sinus Lift is a minimally invasive procedure. It is indicated for a small tissue deficit — when the actual bone height is between 5 and 8 mm. During the closed sinus lift, the cavity is filled with bone tissue through the implant socket. In this case, the recovery time is shorter, and implantation is performed with minimal delay.

Open Sinus Lift is a traditional surgical intervention. It is performed when the thickness and bone height are less than 5 mm. During the open procedure, the surgeon cuts the gum and inserts bone graft material through a created “window.” This method is more reliable, but increases the recovery period length. Implantation is possible only after 3–6 months depending on the actual healing speed.

Materials Used for Sinus Lift Procedure

The following types of bone graft materials are used for sinus lift:

• Patient’s own tissues. Usually taken from the opposite end of the dental arch or from other bones.
• Bone tissues from other donors. They have a high level of biological compatibility and minimal risks.
• Materials of animal origin. In this case, implants can be placed even with a severe deficit.
• Synthetic materials. Usually calcium hydroxyapatite granules are used — a safe, hypoallergenic material. They serve as a base for the development of natural tissues and blood vessel growth.

Contraindications for Sinus Lift Procedure

Before the operation, it is important to consult a doctor. They will take your medical history and clarify the presence of any conditions that may be contraindications:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Oncological tumors.
• Chronic diseases of the cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems.
• Diabetes mellitus.
• Infections of the oral cavity, maxillary sinuses, and mucous membrane of the throat.
• Immunodeficiency.
• Cysts and other jaw tumors.
• Recent surgeries near the maxillary sinuses.

Main Stages of the Sinus Lift Procedure

To clarify the necessity and nature of the procedure, schedule a consultation at BIOCLINIC. Our specialists will conduct a comprehensive examination — visual and instrumental inspection, tomography, and 4D scanning of the upper jaw. This will help select the optimal surgical method and determine all details.

Our specialists perform both closed and open sinus lifts in Lviv. The latter is a more complex operation, so we will explain its stages in detail:

1. Anesthesia or sedation.
2. Incision and flap elevation to create access to the bone.
3. Formation of a bone window to access the floor of the sinus.
4. Detachment of the sinus mucous membrane.
5. Insertion and fixation of bone graft material.
6. Closure of the window, suturing of the gums.

The operation itself takes about 2 hours. If there are no complications, the patient does not need to stay in the hospital.

Recommended Post-Procedure Care

Immediately after the sinus lift, the patient should be monitored by doctors. Once safety is confirmed, they may return home. For the first three hours, avoid eating and limit drinking. On the first day, apply ice packs to the cheek for 15 minutes every hour to reduce pain and swelling.

During the following week, it is necessary to follow these recommendations:

• Do not chew food on the operated side of the jaw;
• Avoid very hot, cold, salty, spicy, and acidic foods;
• Brush your teeth carefully but gently twice a day;
• Use a mouthwash;
• Avoid alcohol and tobacco;
• Avoid sauna and tanning beds;
• Use warm water instead of hot water for showers and washing;
• Try not to sleep on the operated side.
