These are advanced surgical procedures performed to strengthen the jawbone in cases where there is not enough bone tissue in the areas where implant treatment is planned. Thanks to these methods, the chance of success of implant treatment is increased.

What is Sinus Lift?

Sinus lifting is an operation that makes this area suitable for implants by adding bone under the sinus cavities in the back area of the upper jaw (molar teeth area).
It is applied in areas where bone levels have decreased over time or after tooth loss.

How To?

• It is performed under local anesthesia.

• The sinus membrane is gently lifted upwards.

• Bone graft (bone powder) is placed in the gap created.

• Once the healing process is complete, the implant is placed.

What is Augmentation (Bone Grafting)?

It is a method used to recreate bone tissue in areas where bone volume is insufficient. This makes it possible to place implants.

Augmentation Methods:

• Block bone graft

• Particulate bone graft

• Graft materials of artificial or animal origin

To Whom Does It Apply?

• Individuals who have lost teeth a long time ago and have developed osteoporosis

• For those who do not have enough space for implants due to sinus cavities in the upper jaw.

• In preparation for implant treatment

The Recovery Process and After

• Recovery after a sinus lift usually takes 4-6 months.

• The duration of augmentation procedures may vary depending on the method applied.

• After the procedure, oral hygiene should be followed as recommended by the physician.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these procedures painful?
  It is performed under local anesthesia, no pain is felt during the procedure. There may be slight discomfort afterwards.

• How long does the recovery period take?
  Generally, bone tissue reaches sufficient volume within 4-6 months.
