A sinus lift is often required for upper jaw implants when bone height is insufficient. At Elonix Clinic in Albania, sinus lift procedures start from 300 euros — saving up to 70%.
A sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the premolars and molars. The sinus membrane is gently lifted and bone graft material is placed beneath it to increase the bone height available for dental implant placement. This procedure is necessary when the natural bone has resorbed after tooth loss or when the sinus cavity is naturally large.
Elonix offers two types of sinus lift procedures. A closed (crestal) sinus lift is a minimally invasive approach performed through the implant site itself, suitable when only 1 to 3mm of bone height needs to be added. An open (lateral) sinus lift involves creating a small window in the side of the jaw to access the sinus, suitable for cases requiring more significant bone augmentation. Both procedures use premium Bio-Oss graft material from Geistlich.
At Elonix Clinic, a closed sinus lift starts from 300 euros. An open sinus lift ranges from 500 to 800 euros depending on the extent of augmentation needed. In the UK, sinus lifts cost 1,000 to 2,500 pounds. In the US, prices range from 1,500 to 3,500 dollars. All grafting materials and follow-up appointments are included in the Elonix price.
In many cases, yes. When existing bone height is 5mm or more, a simultaneous sinus lift and implant placement can be performed, reducing the total treatment time and number of trips. When bone height is less than 5mm, a staged approach is recommended with the sinus lift first, followed by implant placement after 4 to 6 months of healing.
Sinus lift recovery typically involves mild swelling and discomfort for 3 to 5 days. Patients should avoid blowing their nose, sneezing with mouth closed, or flying for 7 to 10 days after surgery. Most patients return to normal activities within a week. Elonix provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and medications to ensure a smooth recovery.
