Essential Pre-Implant Procedure

Why Sinus Lift Surgery?

When bone height is insufficient in the posterior upper jaw, a sinus lift creates the vertical space needed for stable implant placement. It’s the gold standard for restoring back teeth in patients with bone loss.

📏

Insufficient Bone Height

After tooth loss, the maxillary sinus floor often descends, leaving only 4–6mm of bone — too little for a standard 10mm implant. Sinus lift adds 8–12mm of height, enabling proper implant placement.

🦴

Premium Bone Graft

VeaHealth uses xenograft (bovine), allograft (human donor), or synthetic bone materials — all proven for maxillary sinus augmentation with >95% success rates in long-term studies.

🎯

Predictable Implant Success

Implants placed in grafted sinus bone achieve 95–98% survival rates at 10 years — statistically identical to implants in native bone, when proper healing time is allowed.

🔬

3D-Guided Precision

CBCT cone beam imaging maps sinus anatomy in 3D before surgery, allowing the surgeon to plan the optimal window position, avoid Schneiderian membrane perforation, and achieve ideal bone graft volume.

⏱️

Minimal Downtime

Most patients return to work within 3–5 days. Swelling peaks at 48–72 hours and resolves within a week. The graft itself heals over 4–6 months before implant placement.

💰

70% Cost Savings

Sinus lift in Istanbul costs £850–1,200 vs £2,800–4,500 in the UK. Same materials, same techniques, same success rates — coordinated start to finish by VeaHealth.

Surgical Anatomy

Sinus Lift Technique

The lateral window approach creates an access port in the sinus wall, allowing the surgeon to gently lift the Schneiderian membrane and pack bone graft beneath it.

Lateral Window

Surgical access port created in sinus wall using piezoelectric instruments or rotary bur

Membrane Elevation

Schneiderian membrane gently lifted from sinus floor without perforation

Bone Graft Placement

Space filled with xenograft, allograft, or synthetic bone — adds 8–12mm height

Collagen Membrane

Resorbable membrane seals the window and protects graft during healing

Two Techniques

Lateral vs Crestal Sinus Lift

The approach depends on the amount of existing bone. VeaHealth’s surgeons select the optimal technique based on your 3D CBCT scan.

Standard Technique

Lateral Window Sinus Lift

The gold standard for severe bone loss. A window is created in the lateral sinus wall, membrane lifted, and graft placed. Ideal when <4mm of bone remains.

Indication: 1–5mm of existing bone height
Technique: Lateral wall window + direct membrane access
Graft volume: 2–4cc bone graft material per side
Healing time: 6–9 months before implant placement
Success rate: >95% when executed by specialist
Simultaneous implants: Possible if ≥5mm bone present

Less Invasive

Crestal Sinus Lift

A minimally invasive approach through the implant osteotomy site. Suitable when 5–7mm of bone exists — membrane lifted with osteotomes, implant placed simultaneously.

Indication: 5–8mm of existing bone height
Technique: Internal approach via implant site
Graft volume: 0.5–1cc bone graft per implant
Healing time: 4–6 months (implant placed same day)
Success rate: 92–95% in properly selected cases
Advantage: No lateral window — faster recovery

Treatment Journey

Your Sinus Lift Procedure

From 3D planning to bone graft maturation and implant placement — typically 6–9 months total timeline.

Pre-Arrival

CBCT 3D Planning

VeaHealth coordinates a comprehensive CBCT cone beam scan to measure bone height, sinus anatomy, and membrane thickness. Your surgeon designs the optimal lateral window position and graft volume virtually.

Day 1 — Istanbul

Sinus Lift Surgery

Under local anesthesia or IV sedation, the lateral window is created using piezoelectric instruments. The Schneiderian membrane is gently elevated. Bone graft material fills the space beneath the membrane. A resorbable collagen membrane seals the window.

Local anesthesia or IV sedation
Lateral window created (10×15mm)
Membrane lifted without perforation
Xenograft/allograft/synthetic bone packed
Collagen membrane placed
Wound sutured — post-op meds provided

Month 1–6

Bone Graft Maturation

The graft consolidates over 4–9 months. Xenograft particles act as a scaffold for your natural bone to grow into. VeaHealth monitors healing remotely with CBCT scans at 3 and 6 months to confirm graft integration.

Soft foods for 2 weeks
No nose-blowing for 4 weeks (critical)
Remote check-ins every 2 weeks
CBCT at month 3 & 6 to assess bone quality
Graft fully matures by month 6–9

Month 6–9 — Return Visit

Implant Placement

Once CBCT confirms the graft has consolidated into mature bone, you return to Istanbul for dental implant placement. The implants engage both the graft and native bone for optimal stability.

Final CBCT confirms bone density
Implants placed into grafted bone
Standard osseointegration (3–4 months)
Crown/bridge fitted after integration
Lifetime warranty on implants

Patient Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sinus lift and when is it needed?

A sinus lift (maxillary sinus augmentation) is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw beneath the sinus cavity. It’s needed when there is insufficient bone height to place dental implants in the posterior upper jaw — typically after tooth loss causes bone resorption and sinus floor descent.

How long does a sinus lift take to heal?

Bone graft maturation takes 4–9 months depending on graft material and volume. Lateral window sinus lifts typically require 6–9 months before implant placement. Crestal sinus lifts heal faster (4–6 months) because implants are placed simultaneously with less graft volume.

Is sinus lift surgery painful?

The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation — you won’t feel pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild to moderate, managed with prescribed pain medication. Swelling peaks at 48–72 hours and resolves within a week. Most patients return to work within 3–5 days.

What is the success rate of sinus lift surgery?

Sinus lift surgery has a >95% success rate when performed by experienced oral surgeons. Implants placed in grafted sinus bone achieve 95–98% survival at 10 years — statistically identical to implants in native bone. The most critical factor is allowing adequate healing time before implant loading.

Can implants be placed at the same time as the sinus lift?

Yes, if ≥5mm of existing bone remains. This is called simultaneous placement. The implant is placed into the residual bone, and the sinus lift adds height around it. If <4mm bone exists, a staged approach is recommended: sinus lift first, implants 6–9 months later once the graft has consolidated.

What bone graft materials does VeaHealth use?

VeaHealth uses premium xenograft (bovine-derived bone particles), allograft (processed human donor bone), or synthetic bone substitutes — all FDA/CE-approved and proven for maxillary sinus augmentation. Your surgeon selects the optimal material based on graft volume needed and healing timeline preferences.

What are the risks of sinus lift surgery?

The primary risk is Schneiderian membrane perforation (occurs in 10–30% of cases, usually repaired immediately without consequence). Infection risk is <2% with antibiotic prophylaxis. Sinusitis is rare if post-op instructions are followed (no nose-blowing for 4 weeks). Graft failure is uncommon (<5%) in non-smokers with good oral hygiene.

How many trips to Istanbul are required?

Two visits: the first for sinus lift surgery (3–5 days in Istanbul), and a second visit 6–9 months later for implant placement (5–7 days). The entire graft healing phase is monitored remotely by VeaHealth with CBCT scans at 3 and 6 months — no travel required during consolidation.
