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 , is one of the most frequently used methods.

What is 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 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 anaesthesia in a clinical setting.
