Bone Grafting and Sinus Procedures
You may need bone grafting if:
You have lost teeth and your jawbone has started to shrink.
You are preparing for dental implants but lack sufficient bone support.
You’ve experienced gum disease or trauma that caused bone loss.
You want to preserve bone after a tooth extraction.
Is It Necessary to Have a Bone Graft Before Dental Implant Placement?
Not always. A bone graft is only needed if your jawbone does not have enough volume or density to support a dental implant securely. This can happen due to:
Tooth loss over time
Gum disease
Trauma or injury
Natural bone thinning
During your consultation, your dentist will use X-rays or 3D scans to assess your jawbone. If the bone is too thin or weak, a bone graft will be recommended to create a strong foundation for a successful and long-lasting implant.
In many cases, if the bone is healthy and dense, you can proceed with implant placement without a graft.
Types Of Dental Bone Grafts:
Autograft
Allograft
Xenograft
Alloplast
What Is a Sinus Lift Procedure?
If you’re considering dental implants in the upper back jaw but have been told there isn’t enough bone height, a sinus lift may be the solution. This advanced surgical procedure adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars, making it possible to safely and securely place dental implants.
A sinus lift—also known as sinus augmentation—is a procedure that raises the sinus floor and adds bone to the upper jaw. It is typically performed when bone loss has occurred in the area beneath the sinus, often due to tooth loss, gum disease, or natural anatomy.
The added bone helps create a solid foundation for dental implants in areas where the existing bone is too thin or soft.
A sinus lift may be necessary if:
You are missing upper back teeth and want dental implants.
Your sinus cavity is too close to the jaw for implant placement.
You’ve experienced bone loss due to gum disease or long-term tooth loss.
Your jawbone is naturally thin in the upper molar and premolar area.
Sinus Procedures
Initial Evaluation: We use X-rays or 3D scans to assess your sinus and bone structure.
Surgical Procedure: A small opening is made in the bone near the sinus. The sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone graft material is placed beneath it.
Healing Period: The area heals over several months as the grafted bone integrates with your natural bone.
Implant Placement: Once healing is complete and enough bone has formed, dental implants can be placed securely.
