Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift
Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift
When there isn't enough bone to support a dental implant, bone grafting and sinus lift procedures rebuild and reinforce the site, creating a strong foundation for a lasting result.

Signs You May Benefit From Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift
- Bone loss from missing teeth, gum disease, or a previous extraction
- Planning an implant in the upper back jaw, where the sinus can limit available bone
- A thin or narrow ridge that needs to be built up before implant placement
What to Expect
Evaluation & Imaging
3D imaging measures existing bone and helps plan the graft.
Bone Grafting
Graft material is placed at the site to encourage new bone growth.
Sinus Lift (if needed)
The sinus membrane is gently raised to create room for grafting material in the upper jaw.
Healing Period
Time is allowed for the new bone to mature before implant placement.
