Internal Sinus Lift in Izmir: Minimally Invasive Solutions for Implant Success

Unlock the possibility of a permanent smile with precision and comfort. Internal Sinus Lift at Lamedi Health is a sophisticated, micro-surgical technique designed to elevate the sinus floor through the implant site, providing necessary bone depth with minimal recovery time.

What Is Internal Sinus Lift?

When the upper jaw bone lacks the height required for an implant—often due to natural sinus expansion or mild bone loss—an Internal Sinus Lift (also known as the Crestal Technique) is the modern, gentle solution. Unlike the external method which requires a lateral window in the gum, the internal lift is performed directly through the small opening created for the dental implant itself.

At Lamedi Health, we recommend the Internal technique for:

• Mild to Moderate Bone Loss: When 1–3 mm of additional bone height is needed.

• Posterior Maxilla Restoration: Providing stability for implants in the upper molar and premolar regions.

• Immediate Implant Placement: For patients who want to combine bone grafting and implant surgery in a single session.

• Minimally Invasive Preference: Patients seeking a faster recovery with significantly less swelling than traditional sinus surgery.

The Procedure: Precision Engineering Through the Crest

In our Izmir clinic, Internal Sinus Lift is a masterclass in delicate surgical engineering, typically completed in just 20 to 45 minutes.

1. High-Resolution 3D Imaging: We use CBCT (Computed Tomography) scans to measure the exact thickness of your existing bone and the position of the sinus membrane.

2. Microsurgical Access: Under local anesthesia, a small pilot hole is created at the implant site.

3. Crestal Membrane Elevation: Using specialized, atraumatic instruments, the sinus membrane is gently "pushed" upward from below.

4. Bone Graft Integration: High-quality bone graft material is introduced into the newly created space beneath the membrane.

5. Simultaneous Implantation: In most cases, the dental implant is placed immediately into the site, serving as a "plug" to hold the graft in place while it heals.

Recovery & Healing: The "Soft Touch" Timeline

Because this technique does not involve large incisions, the recovery is remarkably smooth compared to traditional bone grafting.

• The First 48 Hours: You may feel mild pressure or minor swelling. It is crucial to avoid "nose-blowing" or sneezing with a closed mouth to protect the delicate sinus membrane.

• Week 1–2: Soft tissues heal almost instantly. Most patients report little to no pain and return to their routine the very next day.

• Month 3–4 (Osseointegration): The bone graft and the implant fuse together into a solid, natural structure. At this stage, your implant is ready to receive its permanent, aesthetic crown.
