Sinus Lift – Providing Sufficient Bone Structure for Implant
Sinus lift is a treatment method applied to patients who do not have enough volume in their jawbone. With this method, which strengthens the jawbone and provides sufficient bone support for dental implant application, it is possible to have healthy and permanent teeth. Recover the missing bone volume in your toothless jaw with sinus lift!
What is Sinus Lift?
Sinus lift is a surgical procedure performed when the jawbone is insufficient in the upper jaw area, especially in the back teeth. A small area is opened from the floor of the sinus cavity and bone graft (bone powder) is added. This procedure provides sufficient bone volume for dental implant application.
Advantages of Sinus Lift Treatment
Suitable Infrastructure for Dental Implants
Sinus lift enables implant treatment for patients who do not have sufficient bone structure. This method allows for the safe and healthy placement of the implant.
Natural Bone Formation
The added bone graft fuses with the jawbone over time, creating a natural structure. This prepares the necessary ground for long-lasting and durable dental implants.
Aesthetic and Functional Solutions
Thanks to sinus lifting, implants placed in place of missing teeth provide an aesthetically natural appearance and restore normal eating, drinking and speaking functions.
Who Can Get Sinus Lift?
Patients with insufficient jaw bone
Individuals who have lost their upper back teeth and want implant treatment
Patients with good general health who are suitable for dental implants
Sinus lift is an effective solution used in patients who have bone loss and are not suitable for implant treatment.
How is Sinus Lift Performed?
Sinus lifting treatment is usually done with the following steps:
Inspection and Planning: The dentist evaluates the condition of the jawbone and sinus cavity. If necessary, x-rays or 3D imaging are performed.
Surgical intervention: By making a small incision in the sinus area, the sinus membrane is lifted up and a bone graft is added.
The Recovery Process: It takes a while for the bone graft to fuse with the jawbone. This process may take several months.
Implant Placement: Once sufficient bone volume has been achieved, dental implants are placed in the jawbone.
How Long Does Sinus Lift Treatment Take?
The duration of a sinus lift treatment varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s recovery rate. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours. However, the recovery process varies between 4-6 months. A little more time may be required for the bone graft to fuse with the jawbone and for the implant to be placed.
