Sinus Lift
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift, commonly known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that adds bone mass to the upper jaw, in the region of the molars and premolars. The bone is added between the jaw and the maxillary sinuses, which are on the upper jaw (either side of the nose).
The added bone makes it feasible for dental implants to be appropriately positioned, which wouldn’t otherwise be viable due to bone loss or other factors.

Everything You Need to Know About Sinus Lift
How Much Does Sinus Lift Cost In Turkey?
The cost of a sinus lift can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the materials used, and the location of the clinic. Turkey offers highly competitive rates for sinus lift procedures without compromising on quality.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a surgery that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. It’s sometimes called a sinus augmentation. The bone is added between your jaw and the maxillary sinuses, which are on either side of your nose.
To make room for the bone, the sinus membrane has to be moved upward, or “lifted.” A sinus lift is usually done by a specialist such as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or a periodontist.
Why Would I Need a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift might be necessary for several reasons:
- Tooth loss: When you lose teeth in the upper jaw, bone loss can occur over time
- Gum disease: Periodontal disease can destroy bone
- Natural anatomy: The maxillary sinus may be too close to the upper jaw
- Implant requirements: Dental implants need enough bone height and width for stability
Sinus Lift: Step by Step Guide
Consultation and Planning
Before the procedure, your dentist will take X-rays or CT scans to study the anatomy of your jaw and sinus. This helps determine the exact amount of bone needed and the best technique to use.
Anesthesia
You’ll receive local anesthesia to numb the area. Sedation options may also be available if needed.
The Procedure
- The surgeon will cut the gum tissue near your premolars and molars
- The tissue is raised, exposing the bone
- A small circle is cut in the bone
- The bone piece is gently pushed up into the sinus cavity
- The space underneath is filled with bone graft material
- The incision is closed with stitches
Recovery
- Swelling and minor bleeding are normal for the first few days
- Avoid blowing your nose or sneezing forcefully
- Soft foods are recommended for a week
- Full healing takes 4-9 months before implants can be placed
Types of Sinus Lift Procedures
Lateral Window Technique
The traditional method where the surgeon accesses the sinus through the side of the upper jaw. This is used when significant bone height is needed.
Osteotome Technique
A less invasive approach where bone is added through the implant site itself. This is suitable when only a small amount of bone height is required.
What To Expect After a Sinus Lift?
After the procedure, you might experience some swelling and bleeding. Most patients report minimal discomfort that can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Your dentist will provide specific aftercare instructions.
