Sinüs Lifting
What is a dental sinus lift procedure?
The sinus lifting procedure is a regularly used method in almost all dental clinics in Turkey as a supporting surgical procedure for dental implants. The maxillary sinus region is situated in the posterior region of the upper jaw. The maxillary sinus region has air-filled spaces on either side of the nasal cavities in the upper jawbone.
The maxillary sinuses tend to sag when a patient loses the teeth in the posterior regions of the upper jaw. In such cases, an advanced method like sinus lifting is performed to apply dental implants. The sinus lift performed by applying bone grafts to the sagging maxillary sinuses gives quantity support for the jawbones to a sufficient level.

Types Of Sinus Lifting Procedures in Turkey
The existing physical condition of the patient is examined thoroughly before the sinus lifting procedure. Two sinus lifting procedures are performed after administering local anesthesia for the patient not to feel any pain during the operation.
1) Open sinus lifting surgery (suggested for large areas covering more than a few teeth)- performed by opening a small area from the gingiva to the sinus area that is to be removed with local anesthesia. The bone grafts are applied to the sinus cavity. Dental implants are placed after the ossification process below the sinus cavity to place a dental implant in that area.
2) Closed sinus lifting surgery ( suggested for bone areas with a height below the sinus is 5MM or more)- The sinus floor is opened with a unique surgical tool called osteotome with no extra surgical procedure—this way, the sinus membrane doesn’t get damaged.

Post Sinus Lift Surgery
Sinus lifting surgery is an advanced surgery involving new bone formation in a non-bony area. It creates an area suitable for dental implants. The membranes are first separated inside your sinus cavity carefully, and bone powder and bone membrane with high precision. It is usual for a few drops to come from your nasal cavity for 1-2 days because of the placement of the membrane.
Sinus lifting is a challenging surgical procedure, and often results in some swelling on the face. After the sinus rl procedure, the pain and swelling take at least 3-4 days to subside. It will take at least 5-6 months to fully heal and recover from the surgery for the jawbone to integrate firmly.
Therefore, it is mandatory to follow specific procedures as follows:
- Ensure not to consume hot foods. Try to have liquid food as much as possible to avoid movement because of chewing
- Apply ice wherever there is pain and swelling
- Do not blow your nose roughly, as it would interfere with the treatment results.
- You will be given a regular nasal spray, which is an essential medication for your recovery.
