What is Sinus Lift?
Sinus lift is a surgical procedure performed to allow implant treatment in patients with insufficient bone volume in the posterior upper jaw. During this procedure, the sinus cavity is gently lifted and a bone graft is placed in the created space to provide sufficient bone volume for implant placement.
At Denteas Clinic, we perform sinus lift procedures safely in our Kuşadası clinic using modern techniques and advanced surgical methods.
Why is Sinus Lift Performed?
When there is bone loss in the posterior upper jaw, there may not be enough bone for implant placement. This is generally caused by:
- Long-term tooth loss
- Bone resorption in the jaw
- Enlarged sinus cavity
Sinus lift creates adequate bone volume for implant placement.
Who is Suitable for Sinus Lift?
- Patients with insufficient bone in the posterior upper jaw
- Those who want implants but have inadequate bone volume
- Patients who have had long-term tooth loss
A detailed examination and radiological imaging are performed to determine the appropriate treatment plan for the patient.
Advantages of Sinus Lift Treatment
- Creates sufficient bone volume for implant treatment
- Allows missing teeth to be restored with implants
- Provides a long-lasting and permanent solution
How Long Does Sinus Lift Take?
The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 30–60 minutes. The healing of the bone graft and preparation for implant placement may take several months.
