Dental implants are the gold standard of modern-day missing tooth replacement, with success rates in the high 90% range! But for them to work their magic, your mouth needs two key things:
If your jawbone is lacking in either of these areas, bone grafting and sinus lifting can help create the perfect foundation so you can still enjoy all the benefits that dental implants bring.

Did you know that when you lose a tooth, the bone around it starts to shrink? In fact, up to 50% of your jawbone can disappear within the first year after tooth loss. That’s where bone grafting (a.k.a. bone augmentation) comes in. This procedure helps replace lost bone so your implants have a strong, sturdy place to settle in. We can use bone from another part of your body (autogenous grafting), a donor (allogenic grafting) or a synthetic, protein-rich material. The procedure is quick and done right here at our practice, usually before placing your implants to give everything time to heal.
If you’re replacing upper back teeth, a sinus lift might be needed to create sufficient space. Also known as ‘sinus augmentation,’ this procedure gently raises the sinus floor so that your implant can sit securely without getting in the way of your sinus cavity. Why would you need this? Well, when molars or premolars are missing, the sinus area can drop a little too low for implants to fit properly. A sinus lift helps encourage new bone growth, giving your implant a rock-solid foundation.

Our trained dentists use cutting-edge 3D scanning technology to check your bone structure. If we find that your bone density isn’t sufficient to support an implant, we’ll recommend a graft or sinus lift to get things in tip-top shape.
Most people feel fine within a week, but your new bone will need a few months to fully integrate before we can place your implant.
Absolutely! These procedures are very common in implant dentistry, and modern techniques ensure a smooth, successful treatment. Complications are rare, and our caring team are always on hand to guide you through the process.
Yes! If there’s not enough bone to support an implant, it can become loose or even fail completely. Bone grafting and sinus lifting help ensure your implant is strong, stable, and long-lasting.
