Bone Graft & Sinus Lift 

Bone graft and sinus lift are the two procedures that decide whether an implant is even possible. Both rebuild what the jaw has lost, so the implant has solid bone to anchor into. Most patients never plan for them. They come for an implant, the X-ray shows thin or shrunken bone, and the conversation turns to grafting first. Genç Dental plans bone graft and sinus lift Turkey treatment with a maxillofacial surgeon, which matters because this is jaw surgery, not a routine filling.

Bone graft and sinus lift Turkey cost in 2026 stays far below UK private rates, and for many patients the graft is what makes the whole implant trip worthwhile financially. The figure depends on how much bone is missing and which grafting material is used. Your case is planned by Dr. Fikret Genç, our maxillofacial surgeon, who assesses the bone from your X-ray before anything is booked.

What Is a Bone Graft?

A bone graft rebuilds jawbone that has shrunk after tooth loss. When a tooth goes, the bone that held it starts to resorb, and after a year or two there may not be enough left to hold an implant. The graft adds material to the site, the body grows new bone into it over a few months, and the area becomes strong enough for an implant.

The material can be your own bone, processed donor bone, or a synthetic substitute. Which one suits you depends on how much height and width the site has lost. Small grafts often heal alongside the implant in one stage, while larger ones need their own healing window first.

What Is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift is a specific graft for the upper back jaw. The sinus cavities sit directly above the upper molars, and when those teeth are lost the sinus floor tends to drop, leaving too little bone for an implant. A sinus lift gently raises that floor and packs graft material underneath, creating the height an implant needs.

There are two approaches. A closed sinus lift works through the implant site itself when only a small lift is needed. An open sinus lift uses a small side window and suits cases that need more height. The choice is made from your scan, not decided in advance online.

Why Bone Graft and Sinus Lift Matter for Implants

Skipping a needed graft is the fastest way to lose an implant. Without enough bone, the implant cannot achieve the stability it needs to fuse, and it fails. Grafting is not an upsell. It is the groundwork that lets the implant last for decades instead of months.

For patients flying in for treatment, the practical point is timing. Larger grafts mean a healing gap before implants go in, sometimes a second trip. We tell you this at the planning stage so you can arrange travel around it rather than discovering it on the day.

Bone Graft and Sinus Lift Turkey vs UK

In the UK, bone grafting and sinus lifts are charged on top of the implant, and the combined private bill rises quickly. Many patients are quoted for the graft as a separate surgical procedure with its own fee. NHS cover for implant-related grafting is rare.

Istanbul changes the total noticeably. The same surgery, with the same graft materials and a maxillofacial surgeon, costs a fraction of the UK price, and packages usually fold the graft into the overall implant plan rather than billing it as a shock extra. A four-hour direct flight from London makes the trip manageable even when a healing stage is involved.

Bone Graft and Sinus Lift Turkey Cost 2026

The price of bone graft and sinus lift Turkey treatment depends on the amount of bone needed, the material chosen, and whether the graft heals alongside the implant or as a separate stage. A small graft costs far less than a full sinus lift with delayed implants, so an honest quote only comes after your X-ray is reviewed. We itemise it before you commit. For background on dental treatment abroad, the NHS publishes guidance worth reading before you travel.

A short online consultation with our team confirms whether you need grafting at all, and if so, how it fits into your implant timeline. Genç Dental plans every bone graft and sinus lift case individually, so send your X-ray before booking flights and we will map out the stages for you.
