At the stage of performing dental implant surgery, one of the anatomical obstacles we frequently encounter in many patients is the situation where the sinuses prevent the implant from being performed. Anatomically, the maxillary sinuses are air spaces just behind our cheekbones. Sometimes patients have situations where their sinuses are too wide structurally. And Sometimes, there are cases where the existing bone gets too close to the sinus with the loss of the jawbone due to the lack of teeth. Therefore, situations where the current distance between the sinus cavity and the jawbone is small makes it difficult for us to apply dental implants to this area. In such cases, there are various methods to make that area suitable for dental implants. Sinus lifting procedure, one of the treatments we apply in our clinic in Turkey, is one of the most frequently used methods.
What is a Dental Sinus Lifting?
In the posterior region of the upper jaw, there is the maxillary sinus region. Maxillary sinus; They are air-filled spaces that exist on both sides of the nasal cavities in the upper jawbone.
Especially in the early loss of teeth in the posterior regions of the upper jaw, the maxillary sinuses sag. Therefore, it is not possible for us to apply dental implants in our clinic in Turkey unless we apply an advanced surgical procedure such as sinus lifting to these areas.
Purpose of this; It is to perform sinus lift by applying bone grafts to the sagging maxillary sinuses. In this way, we increase the insufficient bone quality and quantity to a sufficient level. Sinus lifting is a procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia in a clinical setting in Turkey.
It is a very special method that can be performed by a dentist and maxillofacial surgeon.
How is Sinus Lifting Done in Turkey?
The condition of our patients is at the forefront when performing sinus lifting procedure. We decide how to perform the sinus lifting procedure according to the jaw bone structures of our patients. We do the sinus raise procedure with 2 methods.
1) Open Sinus Raise Surgery
We start the open sinus lift surgery by opening a small area from the gingiva to the sinus area that is to be removed with local anesthesia. In this way, we perform the sinus raise procedure by applying bone grafts to the sinus cavity. Then we wait for the ossification process below the sinus cavity to place a dental implant in that area. We prefer the open sinus lifting method in implant treatments in large areas that will cover more than a few teeth in Turkey.
2) Closed Sinus Raise Surgery
We perform the closed sinus raise surgery when the height of the bone area below the sinus is 5mm or more. We break the sinus floor with special tools called osteotome without requiring an extra surgical procedure from the area opened to place a dental implant. Then we perform the sinus raise procedure without damaging the sinus membrane.
What Complications Can Occur After Sinus Lift Procedure in Turkey?
The same complications occur after a sinus lift surgery in Turkey such as standard surgical procedure. Inevitably, there will be swelling and mild pain in the area due to the incision after sinus raise surgery. However, these are not to the extent that they affect the standard of living. This pain will last 1-2 days at most.
Patients may feel a feeling of fullness in the sinus area each time they breathe. These are not complications to be feared after a sinus lift procedure. As long as the patients pay attention to their oral hygiene and the procedures prescribed by the physicians, they will not experience any problems.
How Much Does Sinus Lift Cost in Turkey?
The average cost of sinus lift procedure in Turkey is £400. However, the cost of sinus lift may differ significantly according to clinics in Turkey. The reasons for this are that this procedure is a difficult, advanced surgical procedure that must be performed in expert hands.
If there is no serious infection in the area where we will perform tooth extraction and sinus lift, the tooth extraction price is included in the sinus lift treatment price in Turkey.
