Bone Grafting and Sinus Lift in Chisinau
Top dental clinics in Chisinau, ratings and reviews
Bone grafting is needed where there is not enough bone for an implant. After a tooth is removed the jaw starts to shrink: up to a third of the volume is lost within a year, and after several years there is simply nowhere to place an implant. The good news is that bone can be rebuilt. Every serious dental clinic in Chisinau working with implants performs this procedure.
What a sinus lift is
In the upper jaw the maxillary sinus sits above the roots. When there is too little bone beneath it, the surgeon gently lifts the sinus floor and fills the space with graft material — this is a sinus lift. A closed lift is done together with implant placement, an open one as a separate operation 4–6 months earlier.
Materials, timing and cost
Surgeons use the patient's own bone, donor or synthetic granules — the choice is based on CBCT data. Integration takes 4–6 months, after which the implant can be placed. A sinus lift in Chisinau costs 4000–9000 MDL and guided bone regeneration from 3500 MDL — several times less than in Germany or Italy. See the clinics below.
