Bone grafting and sinus lift in Tirana
When a tooth has been missing for years the bone shrinks. Grafting rebuilds the width and height needed for an implant, and a sinus lift creates room in the upper back jaw, both routine, planned precisely from your CBCT scan.

Grafting procedures we provide
Socket preservation
Graft material placed at the time of extraction keeps the socket shape, which often avoids a bigger graft later.
Guided bone regeneration
Graft granules under a resorbable membrane rebuild width or height around a planned implant site.
Crestal (internal) sinus lift
A gentle lift through the implant channel when only two or three millimetres of extra height are needed, usually done with the implant.
Lateral window sinus lift
For larger deficits, the sinus floor is raised through a small side window and grafted, with implants placed then or after healing.
What the process looks like
- Before you travel
X-ray review
A panoramic X-ray gives a first indication of bone height. We flag early if grafting is likely so there are no surprises.
- Trip 1 · Day 1
CBCT and decision
The 3D scan measures exact bone volume and sinus anatomy, and we agree whether grafting happens with or before the implant.
- Trip 1 · Day 2
Grafting surgery
Performed under local anaesthetic, with sedation available. Expect swelling for a few days and soft food for a week.
- 4–9 months later
Implant placement
A confirmation CBCT checks the graft has matured, then the implant is placed into stable, rebuilt bone.
Recovery and aftercare
- Do not blow your nose forcefully for two weeks after a sinus lift.
- Use the prescribed antibiotics and antiseptic rinse exactly as directed.
- Eat soft, cool food for the first week and avoid the surgical site when brushing.
- Stop smoking, it is the most common reason a graft fails to integrate.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a sinus lift painful?
- The surgery itself is not, it is done under local anaesthetic. Afterwards expect swelling and pressure for three to five days, controlled with standard painkillers.
- What graft material do you use?
- Certified xenograft or synthetic granules with a resorbable collagen membrane, and your own bone chips where they are available during surgery.
- Does grafting add an extra trip?
- Small grafts and crestal lifts are usually done at the same appointment as the implant. Larger lateral lifts need their own healing period and therefore one extra trip.
- How much does bone grafting or a sinus lift cost at your clinic?
- Albanian dental guidelines do not allow clinics to publish prices online. Send photos or an X-ray on WhatsApp and we send a personal costed plan privately, confirmed after your in-clinic examination.
