💡 Sinus lift is often necessary when upper back teeth are missing for a long time, causing bone loss in the maxilla.

 

✅ What is a Sinus Lift in Dentistry?

  • A sinus lift (sinus augmentation) is a surgical procedure that increases bone height in the upper jaw (maxilla) by lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material beneath it. This surgery is typically required when:
  • The patient has insufficient bone in the upper molar/premolar area for implants.
  • The maxillary sinus is too close to the jawbone.
  • Bone has resorbed due to tooth loss or periodontal disease.
  • Types of Sinus Lift Procedures:
  • Lateral Sinus Lift: Surgical window made on the side of the sinus wall to place graft material. Used when significant bone height is needed.
  • Crestal (Internal) Sinus Lift: Performed through the implant site using special instruments. Used for minor bone height increases (3–5 mm). By regenerating bone in the upper jaw, a sinus lift creates a stable foundation for successful dental implant placement.


✅ Step-by-Step Sinus Lift

  • Step 1. Consultation & Planning
  • CT scan & X-ray to measure sinus cavity and bone thickness
  • Treatment plan customized for patient’s condition
  • Step 2. Surgical Access
  • Local anesthesia or IV sedation applied
  • Small incision made in the gum to access sinus area
  • Step 3. Sinus Membrane Elevation
  • Membrane gently lifted upward
  • Bone graft material placed underneath
  • Step 4. Healing & Integration
  • Healing period: 4–9 months depending on bone quality
  • Implants may be placed immediately (if bone allows) or after full healing

 

✅ Pain Management & Recovery

  • Performed under anesthesia → procedure is pain-free
  • Mild swelling, congestion, or pressure in the sinus area for a few days
  • Avoid blowing your nose, sneezing forcefully, or heavy lifting for 1–2 weeks
  • Full integration takes months, but most patients return to normal daily activities within days


✅ Insurance & Financial Support

  • National Health Insurance: Generally does not cover elective sinus lifts for implants
  • Private Insurance: May cover if procedure is medically necessary (trauma, reconstruction)
  • Clinic Assistance: Documentation and insurance claim support provided

 

✅ FAQ

  • Q1. Why do I need a sinus lift?
    A. If your upper jaw lacks bone height or the sinus cavity is too low, implants cannot be placed safely without bone grafting.
  • Q2. How much does a sinus lift cost in Seoul?
    A. Average KRW 1,000,000–3,000,000 depending on graft amount and technique used.
  • Q3. Is sinus lift surgery painful?
    A. The procedure itself is painless under anesthesia. Post-op discomfort is mild and manageable.
  • Q4. How long is the healing period after sinus lift?
    A. Usually 4–9 months for full bone integration, though normal life continues quickly.
  • Q5. Can implants be placed at the same time as sinus lift?
    A. Yes, if enough bone remains. Otherwise, implants are placed after healing.
  • Q6. Can foreigners receive sinus lift in Seoul?
    A. Yes. Our English-speaking team provides complete support for international patients.
