Bone Grafting &
Sinus Lift

We understand that the foundation of your dental implant is just as important as the implant itself. If your jawbone lacks the necessary density or strength, our specialists may recommend a bone grafting procedure to ensure a solid foundation for your new smile.

Without the necessary bone support, the powerful force of chewing can jeopardise the integrity of your dental implant, potentially leading to failure. That’s why, in cases where the bone is too soft or thin, we employ bone grafting — using either your natural bone or a synthetic alternative — to fortify the jaw. This allows for the growth of new, strong bone tissue that will support your dental implant for years to come. Although the process of new bone growth can take several months, it is a crucial step in ensuring the long-term success and durability of your dental implants.

CURATED CASE BY CASE

For some, a minor bone graft may suffice, and in these cases, the grafting can often be performed simultaneously with the dental implant procedure. Our approach is seamless and tailored to your individual needs, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.

In more complex cases, particularly with the upper back jaw — an area known for its challenging bone structure and proximity to the sinus — a sinus lift may be necessary. This procedure elevates the sinus floor to create the space needed for dental implant placement, addressing bone loss that may have occurred due to tooth loss or periodontal disease. By gently raising the sinus and encouraging new bone growth, we ensure there is sufficient bone to securely place the dental implants, overcoming one of the most intricate hurdles in restorative dentistry.

We blend meticulous expertise with cutting-edge techniques to craft a foundation as flawless as the smile it supports. From bone grafting to sinus lifts, every step is thoughtfully designed to restore both form and function, offering you a pathway to a beautifully renewed smile that stands the test of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Happy Couple
Q. When is bone grafting needed?
Bone grafting is commonly required when:
  • There’s not enough bone to support a dental implant
  • Bone has been lost due to tooth extraction, trauma, gum disease, or infection
  • A sinus lift is needed for implants in the upper jaw
Q. How long does healing take after a bone graft?
Healing usually takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the size of the graft and your body’s natural healing ability. Once healed, the site is ready for implant placement or other restorative work.
Q. How should I care for the graft site after surgery?
  • Follow your dentist’s instructions closely
  • Avoid touching or disturbing the area
  • Stick to soft foods for a few days
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol during healing
