Bone augmentation (also called bone grafting) is a surgical procedure used to increase the volume or height of the jawbone when it is no longer sufficient for placing dental implants or for other prosthetic solutions.
A sinus lift (or raising of the sinus floor) is a surgical procedure used to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw when there is not enough bone to place a dental implant in the area of the upper molars. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and takes approximately 30–60 minutes.

A simple, straightforward procedure for building up bone in the area of the upper molars.
How the procedure works

Aftercare
After the procedure, gently blowing your nose – one nostril at a time – and sneezing with your mouth open are crucial for a successful outcome.
Price and payment options
250–800 euros. The price depends on the size of the augmentation and the amount of artificial material used.
