Maxillary Sinus Lift

A maxillary sinus lift raises the floor of the sinus and adds bone graft material to create enough height for implants in the upper back jaw, where bone is often thin. It is a preparatory procedure that makes implant placement possible in cases that would otherwise lack support. Priced at 3,499 zł, performed within a practice with maxillofacial-surgery experience, with guided bone regeneration available separately at 799 zł.

In the upper back jaw the maxillary sinus sits close above the tooth roots, and after teeth are lost the available bone height there is frequently too limited to anchor an implant. A sinus lift (sinus floor elevation) addresses this by gently lifting the membrane that lines the sinus floor and placing bone graft material in the space created, which over a healing period matures into bone with enough height to support an implant. At the practice this is carried out as a planned surgical procedure under local anaesthetic, with the approach tailored to how much extra height is required. It may be performed ahead of implant placement or, in suitable cases, alongside it, and the maxillofacial-surgery experience within the wider Kulewicz team is particularly relevant for this kind of bone work. The 3,499 zł price covers the sinus lift itself; where additional ridge augmentation is needed, guided bone regeneration is offered separately at 799 zł, and implant placement is priced under the relevant implant option. A healing period is needed before the graft is ready to receive an implant, so the dentist will explain the staged timeline. Some swelling and tenderness are normal afterwards and managed with standard post-operative care. The procedure suits adults who need upper-jaw implants but lack sufficient bone height; suitability and any contraindications are assessed beforehand.
