Maxillary sinuses are air-filled cavities located in the upper jaw bones. These cavities sometimes enlarge due to anatomical reasons and sometimes after the extraction of teeth in the region. In such cases, there is not enough bone left in the posterior regions of the upper jaw to apply implants and a sinus lift operation is required. By entering the sinus through the cavity where the implant will be applied or through the sinus side wall, elevation and bone addition is performed. Depending on the anatomy and bone quality of the sinus area, the implant application can be performed in the same session with the sinus lift operation or the implant procedure can be performed after waiting for bone formation in the area. Since the bone graft placed in the area after the sinus lift procedure is expected to fully ossify, a period of 6 to 9 months is expected for the application of the permanent prosthesis.

Many patients discover that a sinus lift is much easier than they thought. The procedure is quite simple when performed by experienced professionals using advanced equipment and techniques. All in all, a sinus lift is not only a safe and effective treatment, but also a great way to improve your dental health and overall quality of life. A beautiful smile is complemented by teeth that shine with health, and a sinus lift can help you achieve this goal.
