What is Direct Sinus Lift?

  • It is a surgical procedure which aims to increase the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla (upper jaw bone), in the area of the premolar and molar teeth, by lifting the Sinus membrane and placing a bone graft.

  • The goal of the sinus lift is to graft extra bone into the maxillary sinus, so more bone is available to support a dental implant.

  • The bone used to increase the height of the bone is usually from one of the following sources viz synthetic , another species like bovine or porcine (pigs) and sometimes patients own bone taken in small quantities from another area of the body.

WHAT ARE THE INDICATIONS AND CONTRA-INDICATIONS?

Indication

  • While there may be a number of reasons for wanting a greater volume of bone in the Upper posterior jaw ( Maxilla) region, the most common reason for it to be performed is when the floor of the sinus is too close to an area where dental implants are to be placed. This procedure is performed to ensure a secure place for the implants while protecting the sinus.

  • Medical condition of the patient should be good. A thorough medical and dental evaluation needs to be done before commencement of the treatment.



Contraindications

  • Recent radiation therapy in maxilla.

  • Uncontrolled systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus.

  • Acute/chronic maxillary sinusitis.

  • Heavy smoker/ Alcohol abuse.

  • Severe allergic rhinitis.

  • Tumor or large cyst in the maxillary sinus.

  • Oroantral fistula.

How long does it take for bone to form?

  • It takes about three to six months for the sinus augmentation bone to become part of the patient’s natural sinus floor bone. Up to six months of healing is sometimes left before implants are attempted.

  • However, some surgeons perform both the augmentation and dental implant simultaneously, to avoid the necessity of two surgeries.

HOW SUCCESSFUL ARE SINUS LIFTS?

  • Based on the latest research, patients who have at least 4mm or more bone height prior to the sinus grafting procedure have shown a good success rate.
  • Sinus lift is a technique sensitive procedure. If the surgery is performed by appropriate specialists with the right materials and care. Sinus lifts have a success rate of more than 83 %.

Aesthetica dental implants clinic Kolkata has a team of specialists to take care of such advanced procedures in dentistry

COST OF DIRECT SINUS LIFT IN KOLKATA

The cost / price of direct sinus lift in Kolkata is determined based on the clinical situation and merits of the case. Most treatments in dentistry are customized to a persons existing dental situation , medical condition and understanding of future oral-dental needs.

Patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, particularly in the posterior maxilla, who require dental implants but lack sufficient bone height, are ideal candidates. A thorough evaluation, including imaging studies, is necessary to determine suitability.

The initial healing period typically lasts 7 to 10 days, during which patients may experience minor swelling and discomfort. However, complete healing and integration of the bone graft can take between 4 to 9 months before dental implants can be placed. 

In some cases, if sufficient primary stability is achieved, implants can be placed simultaneously with the sinus lift. However, this decision depends on individual factors such as bone quality and volume.'

Various bone graft materials can be utilized, including autografts (patient's own bone), allografts (donor bone), xenografts (animal-derived bone), or synthetic substitutes. The choice depends on individual patient needs and the dentist's recommendation

Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and any postoperative pain is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

A direct lift is needed when there's significant bone loss above the teeth (usually under 4 mm), requiring a bone window to elevate the sinus membrane and allow implant placement with sufficient height.

The surgeon creates a small window in the upper jawbone, carefully elevates the Schneiderian membrane, and places bone graft material underneath to rebuild the sinus floor.

Healing typically takes 6–9 months for new bone to mature, after which implants can be placed securely in the reconstructed area.

Membrane tears occur in around 10–20% of cases. Most are small and can be repaired with collagen membranes during surgery, without affecting healing.

When done properly and with clear sinuses before surgery, the direct sinus lift does not increase long-term sinus infections or chronic issues.

Materials include autografts (your own bone), allografts (donor bone), xenografts (animal-derived), or synthetic grafts. Surgeons choose based on patient health, defect size, and desired healing speed.

Yes—if the graft is done well and the situation allows for sufficient primary stability, the implant may be placed simultaneously; otherwise, it's delayed to allow healing.

Studies show direct (lateral window) lifts can yield larger bone height increases (around 7-10 mm or more), compared to indirect methods.

Risks include membrane perforation, graft infection, and prolonged healing. With experienced surgeons the chances are low, and small perforations are managed with barrier membranes.

Initial healing (soft tissue) takes about 1-2 weeks; full graft integration may take 4-9 months. Aftercare includes avoiding nose blowing, sneezing with mouth closed, and following sinus precautions.
