Lateral Window Sinus Lifting – Istanbul | Bone-Supported Implant Solutions – DentMax Dental Clinic

What Is a Lateral Window Sinus Lifting Procedure?

Lateral window sinus lifting is a surgical technique used to increase the bone volume in the upper posterior jaw, especially when dental implants are planned but insufficient bone is available. The sinus membrane is carefully elevated through a lateral bony window, and bone graft material is placed to create a strong foundation for implant placement.

Click here to consult with our specialists at DentMax.

How Does the Lateral Window Sinus Lift Procedure Work?

During the first examination, your jawbone and sinus anatomy are thoroughly evaluated using advanced imaging technologies. Under local anesthesia, a small lateral window is created to access the sinus cavity. The membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft is inserted. The healing process typically takes 4 to 6 months. Implant placement may occur either after healing or, in some cases, simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions – Lateral Window Sinus Lifting in Istanbul

How long is the healing time?
Typically 4 to 6 months, depending on bone regeneration and overall oral health. Implants are placed after this period.

Is the procedure painful?
It is performed under local anesthesia. Mild post-operative discomfort is common and managed with prescribed medication.

Can implants be placed at the same time?
In most cases, no. Implant placement usually follows a healing period of several months.

What is sinus lifting?
It is a surgical method to increase bone height in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane to allow for implant placement.

How is it done?
A lateral access point is created, the membrane is lifted, and graft material is inserted. It can be performed via lateral or crestal techniques.

What is the lateral window technique?
It involves opening a window on the lateral sinus wall to access and lift the membrane, suitable for cases needing significant bone volume increase.

What should I avoid after the procedure?
Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Avoid strenuous activity, high-pressure environments (diving, flying), and hard foods during recovery.

How long does recovery take?
Most patients heal over several weeks. Soft tissues heal first, followed by sufficient bone formation for implant support.

Do I need this procedure after tooth loss?
If bone loss is significant in the upper jaw, yes. This ensures implant stability and long-term success.

How many types of sinus lifts are there?
Two: lateral window (open) and crestal (closed). Your surgeon will choose based on bone volume and anatomy.

How Much Does Lateral Window Sinus Lifting Cost in Istanbul?

The price depends on the graft material, surgery duration, and clinical difficulty. Contact DentMax for personalized quotes and promotions.
