Sinus Lift & Bone Grafting
Missing bone in your upper jaw?
It can make dental implants difficult or impossible without extra steps.
A sinus lift is a common procedure to add bone where your upper jaw meets the sinus.
Bone grafting is used to rebuild or strengthen the jawbone.
Together, these techniques can create a solid foundation for successful implants.
Without enough bone, implants may fail or be unstable.
That’s why your dentist may recommend a sinus lift or bone graft before implant placement.
The procedures are done under local anaesthetic, IV sedation, or general anaesthetic.
Healing usually takes a few months before implants can be placed.
