Sinus Lift

When the upper back jaw doesn’t have enough bone height to support an implant, a sinus lift (also called sinus augmentation) can help. In some cases, bone grafting may also be required.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Most patients report mild soreness that subsides quickly with proper aftercare.

Recovery usually takes about a week, while full healing and bone integration take 4–6 months. This healing period allows the bone graft to strengthen and create a solid foundation for your implant. Our team will give you clear, step-by-step guidance to support a smooth and comfortable recovery.

Yes. Smoking and certain systemic conditions (such as uncontrolled diabetes) can slow healing and reduce the long-term success of implants and sinus lift procedures. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and advise you on the safest and most effective treatment plan for your situation.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of the procedure. Minor sinus lifts start from £400, and your exact treatment fee will be confirmed after a full consultation and 3D scan.

Sinus lift procedures are safe, but as with any surgery, there are potential risks. These may include infection or a tear in the sinus membrane. However, with planning, advanced techniques, and the experience of our team, the chances are kept to a minimum.

Healing can take several months as the bone integrates, although initial recovery is usually quick.
