Sinus lift
A sinus lift is a procedure that makes it possible to place an implant even if there's no longer enough bone for it. When a tooth was removed long ago, the bone in that area gradually becomes thinner over time — this is a natural process. A sinus lift gently restores its volume so the implant holds reliably and lasts for many years.
When a sinus lift is needed
The tooth was removed long ago and the bone in that area has become thinner
The X-ray shows that the bone height is insufficient for placing an implant
The doctor recommends strengthening the area so the result is reliable and long-lasting
Implantation is planned, but it's impossible without prior bone restoration
Bulat Rishatovich Zulkarnaev, oral surgeon, implantologist
“The main goal of a sinus lift is to make the bone strong enough for the implant to hold reliably. It's a safe, well-established procedure that we perform with maximum comfort for the patient.”
What a sinus lift is
When a tooth is lost, the bone in that area gradually becomes thinner over time, and placing an implant is no longer possible.
A sinus lift helps restore the needed volume: the doctor gently raises the thin partition between the jaw and the nasal sinus and adds bone material beneath it.
This creates a strong foundation for the future implant.
Bulat Rishatovich Zulkarnaev, oral surgeon, implantologist
«We often hear that patients are afraid of a sinus lift. In reality it is a simple and precise procedure — like restoring support where it is lacking. After it, the implant is placed easily and reliably».
Stages of the procedure
Diagnostics and planning.
We take a 3D scan (CT) to accurately assess the bone volume and plan everything down to the smallest detail
Preparing the site.
The area is anesthetized and the doctor gently opens access to the bone
Restoring the volume.
We carefully raise the thin partition and add bone material — it will become a reliable foundation for the future implant
Implant placement.
In some cases it can be placed immediately if there is enough bone
Healing and follow-up.
The doctor monitors the recovery process to make sure everything goes calmly and predictably
Safety and comfort at every stage
We do everything so that even surgical procedures go calmly and without stress.
1
The operation is performed under local anesthesia or light sleep (sedation)
2
We use modern biomaterials and 3D scan navigation
3
Minimal trauma — recovery usually takes 2–3 days
4
Individual approach — we select a gentle method for each patient

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Does it hurt?
No. The procedure is performed under reliable anaesthesia or light medicated sleep. The patient feels no pain, only slight pressure. After the operation there may be slight swelling that passes within a couple of days.
Does everyone need a sinus lift before implantation?
No, only if the bone height is insufficient for placing an implant. This is determined from a 3D image (CT) that the doctor takes before planning the treatment.
How long does recovery take?
On average — 3–6 months. During this time the bone tissue fully integrates and becomes a reliable base for the implant.
