Restoring Bone Strength and Preparing for Dental Implants
A healthy jawbone is the foundation of every successful dental implant.
When bone loss occurs due to missing teeth, gum disease, or previous infections, bone grafting and sinus liftingprocedures rebuild the bone structure — ensuring a stable, secure base for long-term implant success.
At Dentist Istanbul, our oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform these advanced procedures with precision, safety, and comfort, using modern biomaterials and minimally invasive techniques for fast healing and predictable results.
Rebuild your foundation — restore your smile with confidence.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a procedure that regenerates or replaces lost bone in the jaw.
It’s commonly performed before dental implant placement to restore sufficient bone volume and density.
Bone loss can occur due to:
- Long-term missing teeth
- Gum disease (periodontitis)
- Infection or trauma
- Poorly fitting dentures
- Natural bone resorption after extraction
Bone grafting provides the strength and stability your implants need to last a lifetime.
Types of Bone Grafts
At Dentist Istanbul, we use high-quality, biocompatible graft materials depending on your individual needs and bone condition:
Autogenous (Autograft)
Bone taken from your own body (often the chin or jaw). Offers natural integration and high success rates.
Allogenic (Allograft)
Processed bone from a donor source — safe, sterile, and ideal for patients who prefer less invasive surgery.
Xenograft
Bone derived from natural sources (e.g., bovine origin), known for excellent structural support.
Alloplastic (Synthetic Graft)
Biocompatible synthetic materials that stimulate natural bone growth over time.
Your surgeon will recommend the best option for optimal healing and implant readiness.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift (also called sinus augmentation) is a specialized bone graft procedure performed in the upper jaw, particularly in the molar and premolar region.
Over time, the sinus cavity may expand downward after tooth loss, leaving insufficient bone height for implant placement.
A sinus lift gently elevates the sinus membrane and places bone graft material beneath it — creating the ideal depth and density for implant stability.
Sinus lifting allows for secure, long-lasting implants even in areas with naturally thin bone.
How the Procedures Work
1. Comprehensive Examination
We begin with 3D CBCT imaging to assess bone density, volume, and sinus anatomy.
2. Local or Sedation Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation for complete comfort.
3. Bone Placement / Sinus Elevation
- For bone grafting, the graft material is placed directly in the deficient area.
- For sinus lifting, the sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is inserted beneath it.
4. Healing Phase
Over the next 3–6 months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, forming a strong, unified foundation.
5. Implant Placement
Once healed, your dental implants can be placed securely into the regenerated bone.
In some cases, implants can be placed at the same time as bone grafting or sinus lifting, depending on bone quality.
Benefits of Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifting
✅ Restores lost bone volume and strength
✅ Enables secure implant placement
✅ Prevents further bone resorption
✅ Improves facial contour and support
✅ Long-lasting, natural bone regeneration
✅ Safe, biocompatible materials
A permanent solution for patients who have been told they “don’t have enough bone” for implants.
Recovery & Aftercare
Healing is typically smooth and well-tolerated.
Mild swelling or tenderness may occur for a few days and is easily managed with prescribed care.
We provide full post-operative guidance, including:
- Medication and pain management
- Dietary instructions (soft foods for a few days)
- Avoiding sinus pressure (no blowing nose or flying for 1–2 weeks after a sinus lift)
- Regular follow-up imaging to monitor bone integration
Our team follows you through every step — from surgery to successful implant placement.
