Sinus Lift in MontrealCost Comparison and What Montreal Patients Need to Know
- Montreal specialist dental practices carry 6–10 week wait times for full-arch cases; RAMQ covers basic dental for children and social assistance recipients only.
The combination of high out-of-pocket cost and constrained specialist capacity is the primary reason Montreal patients with large dental treatment needs investigate international options.
Sinus Lift Cost: Montreal vs India
How much does sinus lift cost in Montreal compared to India?
Sinus Lift in Montreal costs $2600–5200 per side at specialist clinics. Stunning Dentistry India delivers the same treatment using Nobel Biocare or Straumann components for $390 per side. The cost difference is structural, reflecting Canada's higher operating costs, not a difference in implant brand, ceramic material, or clinical protocol.

What Sinus Lift Involves
A sinus lift augments the bone volume in the posterior maxilla by elevating the Schneiderian membrane and placing bone graft material between the membrane and the maxillary sinus floor. It is required when upper posterior teeth have been missing long enough for the sinus to pneumatise, expand downward, reducing the vertical bone height below the threshold needed for implant primary stability.
Two techniques are used: the lateral window approach for large augmentations (residual bone height under 5mm), and the transcrestal approach for moderate deficiencies (5–8mm). Piezoelectric instruments are used at Stunning Dentistry to reduce Schneiderian membrane perforation risk.
You should request the implant brand and model in writing before committing to treatment, at a Montreal clinic or at Stunning Dentistry. The implant system specification (Straumann SLA/SLActive, Nobel Biocare Active, or equivalent) should be stated in the written treatment plan before any deposit is paid.
At Stunning Dentistry, sinus lift cases are planned using CBCT-guided imaging and fabricated surgical guides for all implant placements. The treating oral surgeon and prosthodontist review the plan before any irreversible procedure begins. The implant brand and model are confirmed in the written treatment plan provided before the patient books travel.

After Treatment: Monitoring from Montreal
The Dental Angel clinical handover document provided at discharge contains the implant brand, model, and lot number; abutment specifications; graft materials if applicable; prosthetic design; and a complete monitoring schedule. Any general dentist in Montreal can perform the monitoring schedule from this document.
At month 4–6 post-surgery, the patient attends a Canada imaging centre for a CBCT. The DICOM files are sent to Stunning Dentistry for remote review. The return visit for final ceramic delivery is confirmed only after osseointegration is verified on the Canada-taken CBCT.

People Also Ask
How much does sinus lift cost in Montreal?
Sinus Lift in Montreal costs approximately $2600–5200 per side at specialist clinics, depending on the implant system used and the complexity of the case. CBCT imaging and guided surgery planning are typically quoted separately, adding $1,500–$3,500 to the base implant fee.
Does Stunning Dentistry use the same implants as Montreal clinics?
Yes. Stunning Dentistry uses Nobel Biocare and Straumann implant systems, the same brands used by specialist implant clinics in Montreal. The implant brand and model are confirmed in the written treatment plan provided before the patient travels. Patients should request this confirmation in writing, not verbally.
Can my Montreal dentist maintain my implants after I return from India?
Yes. The Dental Angel handover document specifies the implant system, abutment type, prosthetic design, and monitoring schedule in a format any Canada general dentist can follow. The document also includes the CBCT referral specification for the osseointegration confirmation scan at month 4–6.
What if something goes wrong after I return to Montreal?
Post-return concerns are managed via remote video consultation with the Stunning Dentistry clinical team, at no additional charge for the first 12 months. The Dental Angel document allows any Montreal dentist to assess the concern locally first. If the concern requires clinical intervention, the SD team determines whether it can be managed by the Montreal dentist with SD guidance or requires a return visit.
