Sinus Lift (Bone Augmentation)

A sinus lift, or sinus-floor elevation, creates the bone height needed to place implants in the upper back jaw, where the maxillary sinus sits close above the ridge and natural bone is often insufficient — particularly when molars were lost years earlier and the bone has resorbed. At Stomatologia Pietrzyccy the procedure is performed by Dr Marcin Pietrzycki, whose hospital specialisation in oral surgery covers this kind of augmentation, and it is planned…

Under local anaesthesia, which is included in the fee, the surgeon carefully lifts the thin membrane lining the sinus floor and introduces bone-substitute graft material into the space created, sometimes alongside A-PRF growth factors prepared from the patient's own blood. Over the following months this graft matures into bone capable of anchoring an implant. Depending on how much height is required and the technique used, an implant may be placed at the…
