Sinus Lifting in Turkey: Cost, Procedure & Patient Reviews
Sinus lifting (or sinus augmentation) is a surgical procedure that adds height of bone beneath the sinus floor so dental implants can be placed safely in the upper back jaw. It is the answer when your CBCT scan shows you do not have enough vertical bone for standard implants in the upper molar region — and it is a routine part of many UK and Irish patients’ implant journey in Antalya.
Why sinus lifting is sometimes needed
The upper back jaw sits directly beneath the maxillary sinus cavities. When teeth in that area are lost, the bone below the sinus tends to shrink over time, leaving too little vertical height for a standard dental implant. Placing an implant into reduced bone would risk perforating the sinus membrane and compromising integration. The sinus lift procedure gently raises that membrane and adds bone graft material in the space, giving the implant a stable foundation to anchor into.
Sinus Lifting Before & After in Turkey
Who needs a sinus lift
Patients typically need a sinus lift when they have lost upper back teeth years ago, have worn dentures in the upper jaw for a long time, or have a naturally thin bone structure in that region. A CBCT 3D scan is the only way to know for sure. Many UK and Irish patients discover the need for a sinus lift only when their full implant plan is drawn up — we spot it during the remote consultation and price it transparently up front.
How the procedure works
There are two standard techniques. The crestal (internal) approach is used when only a small amount of extra bone height is needed — the surgeon adds graft through the implant socket itself, usually at the same appointment as implant placement, with minimal disruption. The lateral-window approach is used when a larger augmentation is needed — a small window is made in the bone above the gum, the sinus membrane is carefully lifted, and graft material is packed into the space. Either way, the procedure is done under local anaesthesia with optional sedation and takes 45–90 minutes. Post-operative swelling is mild and settles within 3–5 days.

I would recommend this company to anyone wanting dental treatment, don't look anywhere else, I promise you will be more than happy.
I cannot thank the team at Amazing Smile Turkey enough for making my partner and me feel so at home during our journey. It started six months ago when we met Onur in Newcastle. He supported us with weekly updates right until we landed in Antalya. Everything from the hotel to the transfers was incredibly easy. The clinic was pristine, and Dr Tuğçe, dr Gamze gave me 100% perfect care from start to finish— we have truly had the best doctor possible. A special thank you to Aleena, our translator, who stood by us at every step, and to our driver, Kadir. You have changed our lives!
Excellent service, professional,caring , stand by the original or in my case reduced due to less work required
I recently underwent dental procedures at Amazing Smile in Antalya, Turkey, which included the replacement of three missing teeth, several white fillings, and a root canal.To date, the root canal and implant procedures have been successfully completed, and I am highly satisfied with the results, especially with the root canal done by Beyza who was gently, very patient and didn't let me feel any after pain.Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Batu, who provided exceptional assistance, demonstrating a pleasant demeanor and excellent communication skills. I also had the pleasure of meeting Aleena, who exhibited similar professionalism and a genuine effort to correctly pronounce my name. Kadir, our driver, provided seamless transportation from the airport to the hotel and to the clinic. Despite his limited English proficiency, Kadir was consistently helpful and pleasant.Overall, my experience was outstanding. I encourage others to consider this destination to experience the comprehensive services, from accommodation to leisure activities.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% Recommend – An Absolute 5-Star Experience! If you are thinking about getting your teeth done, look no further than Amazing Smile Turkey Antalya. My entire experience with them was flawless from start to finish. The logistics were incredibly smooth. I was greeted right at the airport and transferred to a stunning hotel right near the beach in Antalya. The itinerary was fast, efficient, and professionally handled: Monday: Landed and settled into the gorgeous hotel. Tuesday: Had my initial X-rays taken. Wednesday: The big day. I had all teeth removed, a bone graft, a sinus lift, and a full All-on-6 (top and bottom) procedure. Thursday: Had my temporary teeth fitted. Friday: Flew back home! To undergo that much dental work—including extractions, a bone graft, and a sinus lift—and come out with no bruising and very little pain is a testament to the incredible skill of the team. I have nothing but praise for Onur and Batu. These guys were absolutely amazing throughout the whole experience. They made me feel comfortable, kept me informed, and honestly could not have been more helpful. An amazing clinic, a beautiful location, and a top-tier team. It is definitely worth the visit. 100% recommended!
Very professional from initial consultation then to first procedure And the final results are great for my confidence and feeling Thanks to an amazing team Especially Onur,Tugce,Batu
Timeline and implant integration
When a sinus lift is done at the same time as the implant (crestal approach), you follow a standard implant healing timeline of 3–6 months. When a larger lateral-window lift is needed, we usually wait 4–6 months for the graft to mature before placing the implant — meaning your full treatment becomes a two-trip protocol. We plan this honestly up front so your travel expectations match the clinical reality.
