How many implants do you need?
A sinus lift (also called sinus augmentation) is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the premolars and molars, between the jaw and the maxillary sinuses. The sinus membrane is gently lifted upward, and bone graft material is packed into the space beneath it to increase the height of the jawbone. This procedure is necessary when the upper jaw does not have enough bone height for implant placement — a common situation because the sinus cavity naturally sits close to the tooth roots in that area. After tooth loss, the sinus can expand further, reducing available bone. A sinus lift restores enough bone volume for implants to be securely placed. There are two approaches: an internal (closed) sinus lift, which is done through the implant site and is less invasive, and an external (open) sinus lift, which accesses the sinus through the side of the jaw and allows more bone material to be placed. Your surgeon will recommend the approach based on how much bone needs to be added.

Yes. Krakow is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.
You'll typically need to stay 5-7 days in Krakow. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
An internal (closed) sinus lift is less invasive, done through the implant hole, and suited for cases needing minimal bone augmentation. An external (open) lift accesses the sinus from the side and allows larger amounts of bone to be placed.
If there is enough existing bone for initial stability (usually 4-5mm), implants can be placed during the same surgery. Otherwise, the graft needs 4-6 months to heal before implants.
The surgery is painless under local anaesthetic. Expect moderate swelling and mild discomfort for about a week. You should avoid blowing your nose forcefully for 2 weeks after surgery.
Krakow combines EU-regulated dental care with prices 40-60% lower than the UK. The city has a strong medical tradition through Jagiellonian University, excellent flight connections, and is one of Europe's most affordable and beautiful cities to visit.
Both cities offer EU-regulated dental care at similar price points. Budapest has a longer dental tourism track record and more established clinics. Krakow is newer to the scene but growing fast, with slightly lower living costs and a charming Old Town. Flight times from London are nearly identical.
