Use of Bone Replacement in Implant Procedures (page 5)

Procedure 2. Internal Sinus Lift Procedure

This procedure is used when the bone loss of the upper back tooth area is minimal. In this minimally invasive procedure, the sinus bone is actually moved up through the implant site at the same time the implant is placed.

It is also possible to lift the sinus bone at the time of extraction of an upper molar in anticipation of a future implant. Bone replacement materials, if even necessary can be added through the tiny implant socket. Consult our office before you have an upper molar extracted as we can probably save you time and money.
