Sinus Lift

What is Sinus Lift?

Sinus lift is a surgical procedure performed to increase the amount of insufficient bone in the back area of ​​the upper jaw before dental implant application. Bone tissue in this area of ​​the upper jaw close to the sinus cavity may decrease over time. The decrease may be due to tooth loss, aging, trauma or osteoporosis. Maxillary sinuses expand after tooth loss. When the bone tissue in the area close to the sinus cavity is not high enough, implants cannot be placed. In this case, a sinus lift procedure is performed to lift the sinus membrane and add bone underneath. Thus, sufficient bone volume is provided in the area where the implant will be placed.

Better Implant Stability: When sufficient bone amount is provided with sinus lifting, implant stability increases.

Long-Lasting Implant: Creates a better foundation for long-lasting implants.

Safe and Successful Treatment: Safe and successful results are achieved when applied by experienced dentists.

Development of Jaw Functions: Implants placed in the sinus area improve chewing functions.

Procedure

Sinus lift is usually performed under local anesthesia. After carefully lifting the sinus membrane, a bone graft is placed in this space. The graft can be made of synthetic materials or bone tissue taken from the patient's own body. During the healing process, new bone tissue forms in the area where the graft is placed, and this process usually takes 4-9 months. When sufficient bone volume is created, implants can be applied.

Comprehensive Assessment

Quantification of bone deficiency using three-dimensional imaging.

Surgical Stage

Under local anesthesia, the sinus membrane is carefully lifted and a bone graft is placed.

The Healing Process

Post-surgical care and follow-up recommendations.

Waiting for Ossification

It takes 4-9 months for the placed bone graft to ossify.

In conclusion: Sinus lift is a safe and effective solution in cases where there is not enough bone tissue in the upper jaw back area. It increases the success of implant treatment and ensures that patients have healthy teeth for a long time. This surgical method is planned specifically for the person and generally has a high success rate.
