Is a sinus lift painful, how long does it take to heal and what are the risks?

Is a sinus lift painful? The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. After the procedure, slight swelling or discomfort may occur, which can be easily treated with painkillers.

How long does healing take after a sinus lift? The healing period is typically four to six months before an implant can be safely inserted.

What are the risks of a sinus lift? As with any surgical procedure, there are minor risks such as infection, swelling, or perforation of the maxillary sinus lining. These can be minimized with careful planning and aftercare.

Can I get an implant immediately after a sinus lift? In some cases, immediate implantation is possible, but often a healing period is required to achieve optimal results.
