Sinus lift cost and when it is needed for an implant

A sinus lift is a procedure that increases bone volume in the back part of the upper jaw, next to the maxillary sinus. In Tashkent, it costs from 3 to 6 million sum. It is not necessary for everyone: a dentist determines whether it is needed and whether an implant can be placed at the same time after an examination and a CT scan.

After a tooth is removed, the bone in that area may gradually shrink, while the position of the maxillary sinus limits the space available for an implant. If there is not enough bone to place the implant securely, the dentist may recommend a sinus lift. Implant placement without additional bone may sometimes be impossible or unsuitable, but the decision depends on the clinical situation.

With a closed sinus lift, the dentist raises the floor of the sinus through the opening prepared for the implant. This approach may be considered when only a small increase in bone volume is needed and the conditions allow the implant to be placed at the same time. With an open approach, the dentist accesses the sinus through the side wall of the jaw; this may be chosen when the bone deficiency is more significant. The appropriate method is determined after an examination and a CT scan.

A sinus lift is often planned as part of implant treatment in the upper jaw. If there is enough bone for secure initial implant stability, the implant may sometimes be placed during the same procedure. If not, bone augmentation is performed first and implant placement is postponed until healing. Healing times and the order of treatment stages vary; the dentist determines them based on the clinical situation and follow-up examinations.

The cost depends on the method, the extent of the procedure, and whether implant placement is included in the treatment plan. In Uzbekistan, an implant itself costs from 3 to 12 million sum; a package including the implant, abutment, and crown is approximately 4.5 to 28 million sum. These figures do not mean that implant placement is included in the cost of a sinus lift. The dentist confirms what the treatment plan includes and its exact cost after an examination and a CT scan.

Before the procedure, discuss your CT results, the condition of the sinus, the treatment stages, and what is included in the estimate with your dentist. In the Dentum directory, you can compare Tashkent clinics by ratings and reviews and choose where to arrange a consultation. The dentist will determine the final plan and cost after an examination and a CT scan. The next step is to book a consultation and discuss the appropriate option.
