A lateral window sinus lift at Unident Clinic in Tirana, Albania, provides a stable foundation for dental implants in the upper jaw. This specialized procedure is performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Igli Mëcuku, who was trained at the Russian State University of Peoples' Friendship in Moscow. The clinic uses internationally recognized implant systems and certified bone materials to help patients who lack sufficient bone volume for standard implants.
The surgical team chooses between two main techniques based on the patient's bone condition. The lateral window approach, also known as an open sinus lift, involves creating a small opening in the side of the sinus wall. Bone material is then added to increase height and density. In some cases, Dr. Igli Mëcuku can place implants during the same session. If the bone is very thin, the implants are placed several months later after the area heals.
For patients with smaller bone deficiencies, the clinic offers the closed sinus lift or transalveolar method. This technique adds bone material through the exact spot where the implant will go. It does not require an opening in the side of the sinus. Both methods focus on creating enough space and strength to support long-term chewing function and natural aesthetics.
Dr. Igli Mëcuku serves as the founder and lead surgeon at Unident Clinic. His background in maxillofacial surgery allows him to handle complex bone grafting cases. The clinic follows standardized medical protocols to support rapid recovery and patient comfort. Using certified materials makes the outcomes more predictable for patients seeking upper jaw restoration.
