Bakhtiyar Sinus

Sinus lift planning can decide whether an implant is possible in the upper back jaw, and at Smile by Dr. Bakhtiyar, that planning is described as being built around CBCT-based 3D assessment. Bakhtiyar Sinus is presented as a specialist working in implantology and diagnostics for sinus-related cases, including crestal sinus lift. In the clinic’s workflow, the process starts with a clinical exam and panoramic radiograph for initial evaluation, then proceeds to CBCT with an appropriate FOV for detailed planning. The clinic specifically highlights that CBCT allows accurate visualization of sinus floor thickness, existing bone height, septa, membrane pathologies, and the location of blood vessels—details that panoramic imaging cannot fully show.

Clinical focus and techniques

Dr. Sinus’s focus is implant planning in the presence of limited bone height in the posterior maxilla, using imaging to reduce surgical uncertainty.

• Sinus lift planning using CBCT (3D cone-beam computed tomography).
• Assessment of sinus floor thickness, bone height, septa, membrane pathologies, and blood vessel locations on 3D imaging.
• Use of panoramic radiograph or classic sinus radiography as an initial step when CBCT is not indicated.
• ALARA principle for dental imaging dose management.
• Referral to an ENT specialist if sinusitis is present.

For children and pregnant patients, the clinic materials describe a more cautious imaging strategy: CBCT for sinus evaluation is deferred in pregnancy except in urgent cases, and for children a small FOV is used when indicated. Smile by Dr. Bakhtiyar also explains that CBCT is chosen based on clinical indication, while simpler radiographs can be used first when symptoms are straightforward. This approach is designed to support safe planning for international patients considering sinus-related implant surgery.
