At Tayfun Civak Dental Clinic, we provide specialized Sinus Lifting Services to prepare the upper jaw for successful dental implant placement. Sinus lifting is a crucial procedure designed to increase the amount of bone available in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane, creating a more suitable environment for dental implants.

What is Sinus Lifting?

Sinus lifting, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure that aims to increase the height of the bone in the posterior (back) part of the upper jaw. This is achieved by elevating the sinus membrane and placing a bone graft material in the space created. This procedure is often necessary when there is insufficient bone volume in the upper jaw due to bone loss or anatomical limitations.

The Sinus Lifting Process

1. Initial Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dentist will evaluate your oral health and review your medical history. We will conduct a comprehensive examination and utilize diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or 3D scans, to assess the condition of your jawbone and sinus cavities. This evaluation helps us determine if sinus lifting is necessary for your dental implant treatment.

2. Treatment Planning: Based on the assessment, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan will outline the steps of the sinus lifting procedure and any additional treatments that may be required.

3. Procedure: The sinus lifting procedure begins with making a small incision in the gum tissue to access the bone. A small window is created in the bone to reach the sinus membrane, which is then gently lifted. Bone graft material is placed in the space created to promote new bone growth. The incision is closed with sutures, and the area is allowed to heal.

4. Healing Period: After the sinus lifting procedure, a healing period is required for the bone graft material to integrate with the existing bone and for new bone to form. This process, known as bone regeneration, can take several months.

5. Implant Placement: Once the bone has adequately healed and integrated, dental implants can be placed in the newly created bone. This typically involves a follow-up procedure where the implants are inserted into the upper jawbone, supported by the augmented bone.

6. Final Restoration: After the implants have integrated with the bone, custom prosthetic teeth are created and attached to the implants, completing the restoration.

7. Post-Treatment Care: We will provide detailed instructions on how to care for the surgical area and maintain good oral hygiene during the healing period. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure the success of the treatment.

Benefits of Sinus Lifting

• Increases Bone Volume: Sinus lifting provides the additional bone needed to support dental implants in the upper jaw, making successful implant placement possible.

• Enhances Implant Stability: By increasing the bone volume, sinus lifting improves the stability and durability of dental implants.

• Prevents Further Bone Loss: The procedure helps preserve the bone structure and prevents further resorption in the upper jaw.

• Improves Aesthetic Outcomes: Sinus lifting allows for the placement of implants in areas where there was previously insufficient bone, leading to improved aesthetic and functional results.

• Enables Comprehensive Treatment: With sufficient bone support, patients can benefit from a full arch of prosthetic teeth, enhancing overall dental function and appearance.
