What is Sinus Lifting?
Sinus lifting surgery is a surgical procedure performed when the bone structure in the upper jaw is insufficient for dental implant placement. In this procedure, the floor of the maxillary sinus cavity in the posterior region of the upper jaw is modified by lifting the sinus membrane and adding a bone graft (bone powder or a similar material) to the space. This process ensures sufficient bone volume for the placement of dental implants. Sinus lifting is typically performed on patients experiencing bone loss in the molar regions of the upper jaw. Through this operation, patients can safely and effectively receive dental implants.
