Sinus Lift: An Effective Solution to Compensate for Bone Loss
Sinus lift is a surgical procedure performed in individuals who do not have the appropriate bone quality and quantity for dental implantation, especially in the upper back teeth area, to successfully place implants. The importance of bone adequacy in dental implantation is critical for the successful integration and durability of the implant. Sinus lift is performed by placing a bone graft into the maxillary sinus cavity in order to increase the amount of bone required for the implant.
How is Sinus Lift Performed?
Sinus lift is usually performed under local anesthesia. During the procedure, access is provided to the maxillary sinus cavity and a bone graft is placed at the base of this cavity. The graft can usually be bone tissue taken from the patient’s own body or synthetic bone powder. Sinus lift is an important step in creating sufficient bone in the area where the dental implant will be applied.
Who Can Get Sinus Lift?
Sinus lift procedure is applied to patients who cannot or have failed dental implants due to bone insufficiency in the upper back teeth area. This situation is usually seen in patients who have experienced bone resorption (bone loss) due to long-term tooth loss, gum disease or trauma. Sinus lift procedure is applied to increase implant success and ensure that the implant is firmly placed in the long term.
Recovery Process After Sinus Lift
After the sinus lift procedure, patients may usually experience mild pain, swelling and slight bleeding for a few days. The recovery process may vary depending on the patient’s general health status, the techniques used during the procedure and the type of graft used. Following the rules of nutrition and oral hygiene as recommended by your doctor will speed up the recovery process and reduce the risk of complications.

I went to see her about my veneers and cysts had formed under them. I had an implant and now I am very happy. I went to 3-4 dentists before Ms. Esra but they always caused problems and broke my teeth from the roots while putting the veneer on. They finally recommended Ms. Esra and I went and was very happy. She is a very light-handed and knowledgeable doctor who saved all of my teeth with root canal treatment. I recommended her to my relatives and family. Some of my family members also went there.
