Sinus Lifting and Bone Graft Procedures in Kayseri
Successful dental implant treatments depend not only on proper planning but also on having sufficient bone volume. Bone loss in the upper jaw over time can complicate implant placement. In such cases, sinus lifting and bone graft procedures help strengthen the jawbone and ensure successful implant integration. In Kayseri, Dentist Dr. Emin Ün offers long-lasting results using advanced surgical techniques for these procedures.
What is Sinus Lifting?
Sinus lifting is a surgical procedure that involves elevating the sinus membrane in the upper posterior jaw and placing bone graft material underneath to increase bone height. The sinus membrane is carefully lifted, and a bone graft is placed into the space, promoting new bone formation over time. This creates adequate bone height for implant placement.
Bone Graft (Bone Powder) Application
Bone grafts are biocompatible materials used to regenerate lost bone tissue. These can be derived from animal sources, synthetic materials, or the patient’s own bone. In Kayseri, bone graft treatments are commonly applied to rebuild the jawbone before implant surgery.
- Provides support before implant placement
- Mimics natural bone structure
- Made from safe, body-compatible materials
Sinus Lifting and Bone Graft Procedure
Before the procedure, detailed imaging such as panoramic X-rays or CT scans assess the jawbone and sinus cavity. Under local anesthesia, the sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed into the cavity. The surgical site is sutured, initiating the healing process. Healing typically takes 4-6 months, after which the area is ready for implant placement.
Benefits of Sinus Lifting and Bone Grafting
- Provides sufficient bone volume for implants
- Strengthens the jawbone
