Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift Treatment in Modbury

Treatments

Bone and Sinus Augmentation

What Is a Sinus Lift?

A sinus lift is a bone grafting procedure that creates the required bone height—usually around five millimetres—for secure implant placement.

It involves gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone material between the upper jaw and the maxillary sinuses.

Who Needs a Sinus Lift?

This procedure is especially helpful if you’ve had missing teeth for a long time and bone resorption has occurred. By increasing bone volume, we create a stable foundation for implants.

Bone Augmentation

If you don’t have enough natural, healthy bone to support an implant, you may need bone augmentation.
This process rebuilds the bone to provide a strong base for future dental implants.

How Bone Augmentation Works

Bone augmentation often involves a bone graft.

This is where grafting material is placed onto your existing jawbone. Over time, it fuses with your natural bone to create a stable implant site.

What to Expect During Treatment

Modern bone grafting is a minimally invasive and usually painless procedure done right in our practice.
After placement, the graft needs 3 to 6 months to heal, depending on the extent of the graft and your bone’s condition.
Once healed, the area will be ready for implant placement.

Types of Bone Grafting Materials

There are several options for grafting material. Your dentist will discuss these with you during treatment planning:

Autograft – Bone taken from your own body, often from the jaw (mandibular ramus).
Allograft – Bone sourced from a donor (cadaver), processed to ensure safety.
Xenograft – Bone derived from animals, typically cows.
Synthetic Graft – A lab-developed material designed to mimic natural bone.

All materials are thoroughly processed to eliminate any risk of infection or disease transmission.
