Education & Qualifications

He then completed postgraduate training in Surgery before relocating to Europe to deepen his expertise further.

Sinus Lift in Dublin — Available at Lion Medical, Tallaght

A sinus lift (also known as sinus augmentation or maxillary sinus floor elevation) is a specialist surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars, creating the bone volume needed to securely place dental implants. It is one of the more complex pre-implant procedures — and having access to a qualified surgeon in-house is genuinely rare in South Dublin.

At Lion Medical, Dr Vidigal performs both lateral window sinus lifts and transcrestal (osteotome) sinus lifts, depending on the amount of bone available and the clinical requirements. Patients who have been told they “don’t have enough bone” for implants often discover that a sinus lift can make implant treatment possible for them.

If you’ve been advised you need a sinus lift before dental implants in Dublin, Tallaght, Rathfarnham, Templeogue or anywhere across South Dublin, Dr Vidigal’s in-house expertise means you can complete your full treatment journey at Lion Medical — without referrals to distant specialist centres.
