A successful dental implant requires a solid foundation. However, especially in the upper jaw, in the region of the molars and premolars, patients with bone loss may not be suitable for standard implant placement without additional support. This is where sinus lift surgery comes in. At Dr. Smile Antalya, we offer safe and effective sinus lift procedures that restore smiles with confidence for patients from all over the world.
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane and placing a bone graft beneath it. This added bone creates enough height and density to support dental implants.
This procedure is especially common in cases such as:
•Patients with bone loss due to tooth loss or gum disease
•Patients with naturally thin upper jawbone
•Patients planning to have implants placed in the posterior upper jaw
Clinical studies and patient reviews from Turkey and abroad show high success rates and excellent longevity. This is especially true when the implants are placed by skilled professionals and supported with regular maintenance.
Not every patient needs a sinus lift, but it becomes necessary in cases such as:
When the sinus cavity is too close to the jaw for safe implant placement
When there is insufficient bone volume to support an implant
When prolonged tooth loss has led to bone resorption
Without sufficient bone support, implants may risk failure due to lack of stability.
At Dr. Smile Antalya, we use advanced 3D imaging and digital diagnostics to evaluate bone levels and determine whether a sinus lift is the right solution.
Sinus lift surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, ensuring maximum comfort. The process includes:
1.A small incision is made in the gum to access the bone.
2.The sinus membrane is gently lifted.
3.A bone graft is placed to encourage new bone growth.
4.The area is closed with stitches.
The healing period varies between 4 and 9 months depending on the individual. Once the bone has fully integrated, implants can be safely placed.
