Sinus Lift in Turkey
A sinus lift is a preparatory dental procedure that increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw by gently raising the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material beneath it. This creates sufficient bone height for the secure placement of dental implants in the upper back jaw, improving long-term implant stability and success.
Most patients are able to return home within 3–5 days, depending on their individual treatment plan. Following the procedure, the sinus lift heals gradually as the bone graft integrates with your upper jaw, creating the additional bone volume needed for stable, long-lasting dental implant placement.

THE PROCEDURE
What is sinus lift?
A sinus lift is a specialised procedure that increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw when there is insufficient height to support dental implants in the back teeth. During the procedure, the sinus membrane is gently lifted and bone graft material is placed beneath it, allowing new bone to develop and creating a stable foundation for future implant placement.
Reduced bone height in the upper jaw often occurs following tooth loss, long-term denture use, or the natural expansion of the maxillary sinus over time. By increasing the available bone beneath the sinus, a sinus lift makes it possible to place dental implants securely in areas that would otherwise be unsuitable for treatment.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is a sinus lift?
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw by gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material beneath it. This creates enough bone to support dental implants in the upper back jaw.
Why would I need a sinus lift?
A sinus lift is recommended when there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw to safely place a dental implant. This commonly occurs after long-term tooth loss or as the sinus naturally enlarges over time.
Is a sinus lift performed at the same time as dental implant placement?
In some cases, yes. If there is enough existing bone to stabilise the implant, both procedures can be completed during the same appointment. If more bone regeneration is required, the sinus lift is performed first and the implant is placed after healing.
Is a sinus lift painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Mild swelling, discomfort, and nasal congestion are common for a few days afterwards and are usually well controlled with medication.
How long does a sinus lift take to heal?
Initial healing usually takes a couple of weeks, but the bone graft typically requires 4–9 months to fully integrate before dental implants can be placed, depending on the amount of bone added.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey?
Most patients are able to return home within 3–5 days after a sinus lift, provided healing is progressing normally and your dentist is happy for you to travel.
Are there any precautions after a sinus lift?
Yes. You should avoid blowing your nose, forceful sneezing, smoking, heavy lifting, and strenuous exercise for the period recommended by your dentist, as these activities can interfere with healing.
What is the success rate of a sinus lift?
Sinus lift surgery is a highly predictable procedure with an excellent success rate when performed by experienced clinicians. Following your aftercare instructions and maintaining good oral hygiene helps maximise the success of both the graft and your future dental implants.
