For some patients with missing teeth in the back of the upper jaw, a sinus lift is a necessary step before dental implants can be placed.

A lack of bone in this area can compromise implant stability. That's why a sinus lift creates additional bone by raising the floor of the maxillary sinus, providing solid support for implants.

I had an exceptional experience with Turkey-Health for my eye surgery in Turkey. They offer very competitive prices, and I would especially like to thank Nassim. His professionalism and availability were remarkable, and he brilliantly corrected the mistakes of his predecessor. I highly recommend their services!

I would like to thank all the staff at this hospital for their excellent welcome and impeccable care. A special thank you to Emily, who demonstrated great efficiency, genuine understanding, and immense availability. She listened attentively and supported us from beginning to end; she is a truly lovely woman. Don't hesitate to trust them; you will be in good hands!

Go there with your eyes closed, stop listening to what they tell you in France. The service is so impeccable, not a single misstep, from the airport pick-up upon arrival in Turkey to the return to the airport after the operation. The medical staff is very kind, the surgeon is extremely competent, a brand new 4-star hotel with a Turkish breakfast. A 24-hour translator, a rate two and a half times cheaper than in France... I'll stop there, no need to go any further.

I went there for the medical checkup and I would say everyone there was very nice, but even with a translator there is still a bit of an English barrier. I feel like I had a lot of questions that I wanted to ask the doctor but a little overwhelmed to ask with everything. ANOTHER THING IS IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS IN ENGLISH, it has been 2 weeks and counting.

Maxillary sinus lift: What does it involve?

Located on either side of the nose, behind the cheekbones, the sinuses are bony cavities lined with a membrane (sinus membrane). They play a crucial role in breathing, warming and humidifying the air we inhale.

When teeth are lost and not replaced quickly, the jaw bone between the old root canals and the sinuses tends to weaken and thin. This bone atrophy makes it impossible to place conventional dental implants, as they would not find sufficient anchorage and could end up in the sinus cavity.

Sinus lift, or sinus floor elevation, is a surgical procedure designed to increase the amount of bone available in the upper jaw. The technique involves creating a space between the sinus floor and the sinus membrane, which is then filled with bone graft material. Once the bone has healed, it provides solid support for the placement of stable, long-lasting dental implants.

Maxillary sinus lift: What does it involve? 2026

Indications for maxillary sinus lift

Sinus lift is a surgical procedure used to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw. This procedure is necessary when the bone is too thin to support dental implants, usually in the area of the molars and premolars.

The main indications for sinus lift surgery are:

Posterior maxillary bone atrophy: old, untreated edentulism, bone loss due to periodontitis, severe sinus pneumatization (large sinuses)
Bone malformations: Maxillary hypoplasia (insufficient bone development),thin or absent bone crest.
Genetic pathologies: cleft lip and palate, Crouzon syndrome.
Maxillary sinuses unsuitable for implantology: sinuses too high or too low, asymmetrical sinuses.

Sinus lift creates sufficient, stable bone volume for dental implants, improving the success rate of implant treatment and the patient's chewing function.

Sinus lift techniques in Turkey

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that adds new bone tissue between the base of the maxillary sinus and the membrane that covers it.

Sinus lift involves raising the floor of the maxilla to create more vertical volume.

In general, there are two main sinus lift techniques:

Large maxillary sinus technique

In this technique, an incision is made in the gum tissue and brought up to the base of the jawbone. This creates a bone window without damaging the sinus membrane. The membrane is then removed, allowing the bone to be placed in the roof of the created cavity, which acts as a new sinus floor. Once the implants are in place, the bone graft is placed in the hole.

Mini-sinus lift technique

In this procedure, the sinus is accessed through the implant site from above the crest of the bone. Osteotomy, screw, or hydraulic pressure techniques are used to lift the sinus membrane.

Because the procedure is performed under anesthesia, the sinus lift is painless. After the anesthetic wears off, the patient may feel a slight tingling or swelling, which usually disappears after a few hours.

Post-operative phase of sinus lift

Complete healing of the gums after a sinus lift takes about ten days. During this time, it is not uncommon to experience some minor discomfort, such as:

Swelling of the cheek.
Minor bleeding from the mouth or nose.
The presence of a hematoma.

To promote optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications, it's important to follow your dentist's instructions carefully:

Avoid blowing your nose vigorously in the days following surgery.
Maintain good oral hygiene with a soft toothbrush and mouthwash.
Eat a soft diet for the first few days, avoiding hard, spicy or hot foods.
Follow your dentist's instructions, whether for antibiotics or pain medication.

Don't hesitate to contact your dentist if you have questions or notice unusual symptoms.

Sinus lift complications

In reality, there are contraindications rather than risks. In addition to those typical of any surgical intervention (cardiovascular problems, respiratory failure, diabetes),it is necessary to consider:
