Overview
What is a Sinus Lift?
In the upper back jaw, the sinus cavity often sits too low and the bone is too thin to hold an implant — especially after long-term tooth loss. A sinus lift gently raises the sinus membrane and places bone graft material in the space beneath it, increasing bone height so implants can be placed securely. Using 3D CT planning, our oral surgeons choose the most suitable technique — a minimally invasive crestal approach for smaller lifts or a lateral window approach for larger ones. The graft matures over several months, after which implants are placed into strong, healthy bone. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia in accredited Istanbul clinics with premium biomaterials.
Key Highlights
- Adds bone height in the upper jaw
- Enables back-of-mouth implants
- Crestal or lateral techniques
- 3D-planned and precise
- Premium graft biomaterials

How it Works
Step-by-Step Process
From consultation to a confident return home
3D Planning
A CT scan measures bone height and sinus position to plan the safest approach.
Sinus Elevation
The sinus membrane is gently lifted and graft material placed beneath it.
Healing & Maturation
The new bone matures over four to six months to form a strong base.
Implant Placement
Implants are then placed into the augmented, healthy bone.

It is done under local anaesthesia and most patients experience only mild swelling and discomfort for a few days afterwards.
Because the bone in the upper back jaw is often too thin and the sinus too low to safely hold an implant without added bone height.
Sometimes — if enough bone remains, a smaller crestal lift and implant can be done together; larger lifts heal first.
The graft usually matures over four to six months before implants are placed into the new bone.
Yes. With 3D planning and experienced surgeons, sinus lifts are routine and have high success rates.
