Sinus Lifting – Creating the Foundation for Dental Implants

Sinus lifting, also called sinus augmentation, is a specialized bone grafting procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars, just below the sinus cavity. This procedure is often required before placing dental implants in patients with insufficient bone height in the upper jaw.

At Dental Clinic Turkey, we provide safe, advanced sinus lifting treatments using the latest surgical techniques and biocompatible materials.

Why Might You Need a Sinus Lift?

You may need a sinus lift if:

  • Your upper jawbone is too thin or low for dental implants
  • You lost teeth in the upper jaw long ago, leading to bone resorption
  • Your sinus cavity is too close to the jaw for implant placement
  • You’ve had gum disease or trauma that caused bone loss
  • Without sufficient bone, implants cannot anchor securely—and that’s where sinus lifting comes in.

How Does the Procedure Work?

  • Local anesthesia or sedation is administered for comfort.
  • A small opening is made in the bone to access the sinus membrane.
  • The membrane is gently lifted upward.
  • Bone graft material (your own bone, synthetic, or donor bone) is placed in the new space.
  • Dental implants can be placed successfully.

We offer minimally invasive sinus lift techniques when possible, reducing recovery time and discomfort. You should know that; During the sinus lift application, implants can be placed depending on the bone condition. In advanced sinus lift applications, dental implants are not placed and bone formation can be waited.
