Sinus Lifting

What is Sinus Lift (Lifting)?

Sinuses are air-filled cavities located on both sides of the nose. These cavities affect the implant to be applied to missing teeth in the upper jaw. If the sinuses are close to the upper jaw and more bone is needed for implant treatment, sinus liftingsurgery is performed.

The jawbone in this region is thinner than the other region. Therefore, the bone volume required for implant treatment may not be available in the first stage. However, the sinus membrane is moved upwards to make room for additional bone in this limited area. This treatment is called sinus lift treatment. It allows the existing bone volume to be increased by lifting the sinus floor with different techniques. Strong and healthy bone is obtained after this application.

Tested and successful methods are used in sinus lifting treatments. Before starting this application, radiographic examination and clinical examination are performed by our dentists. The amount of bone required from the radiographic image is calculated millimetrically and sinus lifting is applied accordingly. The location and size of the implant is determined before starting the treatment. This procedure is performed by a dental, oral and maxillofacial surgeon under local anesthesia in our clinic.

Before the application, an incision is made along the gum in the determined area and the bone is made visible. Depending on the amount of bone present, sinus litting is performed with an application called closed or open technique. During the procedure, different biomaterials such as PRF, bone powder are applied to the area and thus it is aimed to accelerate the healing by increasing the amount of bone. Although the amount of material used in the procedure varies according to the individual, it is important to support the bone that will replace the sinus. This is where the bone augmentation part of the procedure comes in. Implant treatment can be performed in the same session. However, the prosthesis on the implant needs to wait for an average of 3 months. After the procedure, sutures are applied and the area is closed. Our patient will be prescribed antibiotics as well as painkillers. You can always call us for more detailed information and to solve your dental and oral health problems.

Who Needs Sinus Lifting Surgery?

There are several reasons why this treatment procedure is necessary before implant treatment for patients with missing teeth in the upper jaw.

• If the bone height in the upper jaw is not sufficient for the implant,
• If the sinus floor is too close to the upper jaw,
• If there are symptoms of sinus prolapse, it can be listed as follows.

How is Sinus Lifting Surgery Performed?

Sinus lifting operation is a surgical intervention performed under local anesthesia in standard dental chairs. The answer to the question of what is sinus in the tooth is as follows: The sinus area is lifted to the desired state and made accessible through a window opened in the mouth in that area. The sinus membrane covering the inside of the sinus is raised and bone powder is placed between it and the underlying bone. This area is then closed with stitches.

You should be comfortable during this treatment, which is thought to be painful and painful. However, you should know that with this procedure, the sinus membrane and sinus bone are entered. Incisions are made to eliminate the sinuses. During this procedure, general anesthesia or local anesthesia is administered so that our patients do not feel pain and suffering. Therefore, our patients undergo the operation very comfortably without feeling any pain.

How Many Types of Sinus Lift (Sinus Lifting) Surgery Are There?

There are different ways to perform a sinus lifting operation. It all starts with an incision along the gum line to expose the underlying bone. It pushes upwards to expose the sinus cavity. The membrane is removed and the underlying bone is filled with graft granulate. The gum tissue is then sewn back together. This procedure is applied in two ways as closed and open sinus lift. The sinus lifting process, which is done in stages, starts after the determination of the treatment to be applied. Although sinus lift treatment is intimidating, it is a very comfortable and worry-free procedure.

Sinus lifting is performed for every area where treatment is possible. Depending on the jaw structure, the stages may progress slower or faster. This situation varies from person to person.

• Open Sinus Lift Technique

In the open operation, local anesthesia is performed first. In the open sinus lifting technique, an incision is made on the gum line. While the sinus area is lifted, bone powder is placed in the opened cavity. The incision is then closed with sutures.

• Closed Sinus Lift Technique

In the closed sinus lifting technique, sinus lifting is performed if the bone height in the jawbone is 4 mm or less. Under local anesthesia, the base of the sinus is broken with a special tool called an osteotome and the sinus is raised. Bone powder is then placed in this cavity. Sinus opening in the tooth results in closed and open sinus lift techniques.

Is Sinus Lifting Operation Difficult?

Those who have sinus lifting surgery receive local anesthesia. It takesan average of 45 minutes and is a painless procedure. If there is sufficient bone volume, implant application is performed in the same session, this process takes about 15 minutes. Sinus lifting surgery is not a difficult operation.

What is the Recovery Process After Sinus Lifting Surgery?

Sinus lifting operation takes one to two hours. After the operation is over, the recovery period takes 4 or 6 months for ossification. During this time, hygiene is very important. With attention to hygiene, recovery takes place in a short time. Those who have sinus lifting surgery can shorten the recovery time even more with a healthy life and necessary precautions. After every jaw, mouth and dental treatment, people have an expectation. However, it is natural to have expectations about the recovery time and the effects of the surgery.

Since this procedure is a very important surgery, there may be pain, swelling and slight bleeding in that area after the sinus lift. However, it cannot be said that such situations will occur in every patient. Each patient is unique and patients with a strong jaw structure do not experience such situations. People with slower jaw structures and bone tissues may experience such situations. After the surgery, it is also necessary not to hit that area and avoid situations that may disturb that area. The medications given by our doctors should be used regularly and plenty of rest should be taken.

How Long Does Swelling Last After Sinus Lifting?

Sinus lifting surgery is performed under local anesthesia. The patient does not feel pain during the procedure. It is normal to have swelling after the procedure. The swelling that occurs during the operation lasts 2 to 3 days. Afterwards, the swelling goes down. During this period, all medications prescribed by our doctors should be used regularly.

How are Sinus Lifting Prices?

Among all dental treatments, implant prices are higher than other applications. Because the materials used are high quality and expensive.
