Sinus Lift
Istanbul

A sinus lift (sinus augmentation) is a surgical procedure that raises the floor of the maxillary sinus in the upper back jaw to create enough bone volume for dental implants. It makes implant treatment possible when bone height is insufficient.

What Is a Sinus Lift and Who Needs It?

When back teeth are lost in the upper jaw, bone gradually resorbs and the maxillary sinus expands downward, so there may not be enough bone height for an implant. A sinus lift gently raises the sinus membrane and places a bone graft in the created space to restore this volume.

There are two main techniques: the open (lateral window) approach for significant bone deficiency, and the closed (crestal/osteotome) approach when only limited lift is needed. Planning is done with 3D imaging (CBCT).

Process, Healing, With Implant or Before, Why Istanbul?

The process covers CBCT and assessment, local anaesthesia (sedation if needed), raising the membrane and graft placement. If bone height is sufficient the implant can be placed in the same session; if not, a few months are usually allowed for graft maturation before the implant is placed.

The procedure is routine and predictable; with correct planning the success rate is high. Istanbul is chosen in dental tourism for its CBCT and surgical setup, experienced clinicians and competitive pricing.

Sinus Lift — Frequently Asked Questions

It is needed when bone height in the upper back jaw is insufficient for an implant; the sinus floor is raised and a graft restores bone volume.
The open (lateral window) technique is used for significant bone deficiency, the closed (crestal) technique when only limited lift is needed. The decision is made with CBCT.
It is done under local anaesthesia (sedation if needed) and is comfortable. Mild swelling for a few days afterwards is possible and resolves with proper care.
With correct planning the risk is low; temporary swelling is the most common. The price depends on the technique (open/closed), the amount of graft and whether an implant is needed.
It is done under local anaesthesia (sedation if needed) and is painless; mild swelling may follow.
Initial healing takes a few days; the graft turning to bone and becoming implant-ready usually takes 4–6 months.
The closed technique is done with the implant in one session for small deficits; the open technique is for larger bone needs.
It is safe in experienced hands; rarely a sinus membrane tear or infection can occur, both of which are treatable.
