Is sinus lifting painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with prescribed medication for 3-5 days.

How long does it take to recover from a sinus lift?

Initial healing takes about 7-10 days. Full bone maturation typically requires 4-9 months before implants can be placed. During recovery, you should avoid blowing your nose forcefully and sneezing with your mouth open.

Can a sinus lift and implant be done at the same time?

In some cases, yes. If there is enough existing bone (typically 4-5mm or more) to stabilise the implant, we can place the implant simultaneously with the sinus lift, reducing overall treatment time.

What are the risks of sinus lifting?

The most common complication is a small perforation of the sinus membrane, which occurs in about 10-20% of cases and is typically repaired during the same procedure. Infection is rare when proper surgical protocols are followed.

Sinus Lifting

Prepare your upper jaw for successful dental implant placement with expert sinus lift surgery at Luxury Dental in Antalya, Turkey. Our experienced oral surgeons perform both lateral window and crestal approaches, using CBCT 3D diagnostic imaging to map sinus anatomy and plan precise graft volumes. With clinically proven biomaterials and a clinical success rate exceeding 95%, sinus lifting creates the essential bone height needed for long-term implant stability in the posterior upper jaw.

Key Benefits

Why Choose Sinus Lifting

Enables Implant Placement

Creates sufficient bone height in the upper jaw where natural bone is too thin, making previously impossible implant placements achievable.

Advanced Techniques

Our surgeons are trained in both lateral window and crestal approaches, selecting the optimal method based on your specific anatomy.

Premium Biomaterials

We use clinically proven bone graft materials that promote reliable new bone formation with high biocompatibility and predictable outcomes.

Proven Success Rates

Sinus lifting has a clinical success rate exceeding 95% when performed by experienced oral surgeons using modern techniques and materials.

What to Expect

Treatment Process

3D Diagnostic Imaging

A detailed CBCT scan measures your existing bone height and maps the sinus anatomy. This allows us to plan the exact graft volume and surgical approach.

Surgical Procedure

Under local anaesthesia (with sedation available), the sinus membrane is carefully elevated and bone graft material is placed beneath it to increase the bone height.

Healing & Bone Maturation

Over 4-9 months, the graft material integrates with your natural bone, creating a dense, solid foundation sufficient to support dental implants.

Implant Placement

Once follow-up imaging confirms adequate bone volume and density, dental implants are placed in the newly augmented bone with confidence.

About Sinus Lifting

Sinus lifting is a specialised surgical procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars, creating a solid foundation for dental implants. Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques including lateral window and crestal approaches, combined with premium bone grafting materials, to safely elevate the sinus membrane and promote new bone growth. This procedure ensures long-term implant stability and success, even when natural bone volume is insufficient.

There are two main approaches to sinus lifting. The lateral window technique is used when significant bone augmentation is needed, accessing the sinus through a small opening in the side of the jawbone. The crestal approach is less invasive and is suitable when only a modest increase in bone height is required, accessing the sinus through the implant site itself.

Sinus lifting is one of the most commonly performed pre-implant surgical procedures worldwide. It is typically recommended for patients who have lost bone in the upper posterior jaw due to tooth loss, periodontal disease, or the natural expansion of the maxillary sinus over time.
