Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift
What Is Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift?
The Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift, also known as the indirect sinus lift, transalveolar sinus augmentation, or transcrestal sinus graft, is a minimally invasive bone grafting procedure that increases the bone height in the upper jaw using the Hiossen CAS (Crestal Approach Sinus) kit. This procedure indirectly lifts the sinus membrane through the crestal ridge, allowing for a stable foundation to support dental implants in cases where bone height is insufficient under the maxillary sinus. Often, it can be completed simultaneously with dental implant placement, helping patients regain functional chewing and speech.

Who Needs Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus?
The Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift may be recommended for patients who:
- Have Insufficient Bone Height: When the bone height in the upper jaw is inadequate to support dental implants.
- Have Missing Teeth: Extended tooth loss in the upper posterior area can lead to bone resorption, reducing bone height and complicating implant placement.
- Experienced Trauma or Injury: Injury to the upper jaw can lead to bone loss, necessitating a sinus lift to restore bone height for implants.
- Have Advanced Gum Disease: Gum disease can result in vertical bone loss in the upper jaw, making implant placement challenging.
A comprehensive evaluation, often including CBCT scans, is necessary to determine candidacy for the procedure. If you have further questions about Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift, please contact us.
Benefits of Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift
The Hiossen CAS Kit for sinus lifting has several advantages:
- Minimally Invasive: Unlike other sinus lift methods, this procedure avoids creating a lateral window, making it less traumatic.
- Predictable Outcomes: High success rates in bone regeneration and implant placement.
- Shorter Healing Time: As a minimally invasive procedure, healing is typically quicker.
- Improved Quality of Life: Enables stable implant placement, improving chewing and speech.
- Reduces Need for Additional Procedures: Often performed concurrently with implant placement, reducing overall treatment time.
The advantages of Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift make it a popular choice for patients who require dental implants in the posterior upper jaw and have insufficient bone height for implant placement.

Type of Bone Graft Material
There are several types of bone graft materials for an Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift:
- Allograft: Sourced from human donors and processed to reduce disease transmission risk.
- Xenograft: Sourced from animals (commonly bovine or porcine) and processed for safety.
- Autograft: Taken from the patient’s own body, typically the hip or jaw. It’s the “gold standard” but requires an additional surgery.
- Alloplast: Synthetic graft materials, such as calcium phosphate, suitable for those preferring non-biological options.
Discussing each option with a dentist can help determine the best material based on individual preferences and requirements. If you have further questions about bone graft materials used for Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift, please contact us.
Cost of Indirect Sinus Lift
The cost of an Indirect Sinus Lift is $1357. The codes relevant to Alveolar bone preservation in the Ontario Dental Association’s Suggested Fee Guide appear as follows:
Sinus Osseous Augmentation
- 79355 – Sinus Osseous Augmentation, Indirect Inferior – Allograft : $1007 + Dental materials expense (approximately $350)
Indirect sinus lifting in preparation for dental implant surgery is oftentimes considered a supplementary service by dental insurance plans and may or may not be covered by your dental insurance. Be sure to find out from your dental insurance plan provider how much you are eligible for before going ahead with dental treatment. Your dentist can help you submit a predetermination to your dental insurance.

Steps in the Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift Procedure
The Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift procedure typically includes:
- Evaluation and Planning: A review of dental history and CBCT imaging to assess the site.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia to numb the area.
- Osteotomy Preparation: A CAS Drill is used to create a precise opening in the bone, avoiding membrane perforation.
- Sinus Membrane Elevation: The hydraulic membrane lifter safely detaches and elevates the sinus membrane using gentle saline waer pressure.
- Bone Grafting: The chosen bone graft material is placed into the newly created space.
- Implant Placement: If sufficient primary stability is achieved, the dental implant is placed immediately.
- Suturing: The access point is sutured, and the patient receives post-operative instructions.
- Follow-Up: Appointments to monitor healing and evaluate implant readiness.
The procedure is typically quick, often completed in a single visit, but requires careful adherence to post-operative care to ensure success. If you have further questions about Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift, please contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift
- How does an Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift differ from a Direct Sinus Lift?
The Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift is less invasive, accessing the sinus cavity through the existing bone via the implant site, whereas a Direct Sinus Lift involves creating a lateral window to access the sinus directly.
- Is the procedure painful?
Local anesthesia is used during the procedure to minimize discomfort; post-operative pain is typically mild and manageable with prescribed medications.
- Are there risks associated with a Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift?
As with any surgical procedure, risks include infection, sinus membrane perforation, or graft failure, though these complications are relatively uncommon.
- How successful is the Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift?
The procedure has a high success rate, especially when performed by experienced dental professionals, and is effective in facilitating successful dental implant placement.
The Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift is a safe and effective procedure to enhance bone height for dental implant placement with minimal invasiveness. If you have further questions about Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus Lift, please contact us.
