Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift

Why Is This Service So Important?

When teeth are missing for an extended period, the jawbone that once supported them gradually deteriorates—a process called resorption that can eliminate part of the bone width in just the first year after tooth loss.

This natural bone loss creates a challenging situation for dental implants, which require adequate bone volume for successful placement and long-term stability.

At Prostho Cosmetic Dentistry, our specialized bone grafting and sinus lift procedures effectively reverse this bone loss, rebuilding your jaw's foundation to support dental implants with predictable, long-lasting results.

Using the latest regenerative materials and precise surgical techniques, Dr. Shin can restore lost bone volume, widening narrow ridges and increasing height where needed to accommodate implants of the ideal length and diameter.

For upper jaw implants, where the maxillary sinuses often limit available bone height, our gentle sinus lift procedure creates additional space by carefully elevating the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material below it.

This specialized technique enables implant placement in areas that would otherwise lack sufficient bone support. With Dr. Shin's prosthodontic expertise guiding your treatment from start to finish, you can feel confident that every procedure is performed with your final restoration in mind.

At Prostho Cosmetic Dentistry, our approach to bone grafting and sinus lifts combines advanced surgical techniques with comprehensive treatment planning that prioritizes your long-term oral health.

Unlike practices that perform these procedures in isolation, Dr. Shin's specialized prosthodontic training allows him to visualize your final restoration before any surgical intervention, ensuring each grafting procedure is precisely tailored to support your specific implant needs.

Our precision methodology incorporates detailed 3D imaging to map existing bone architecture and create custom surgical guides that maximize predictability while minimizing invasiveness. We further distinguish our service through our material selection, utilizing the latest biocompatible grafting materials that promote faster healing and superior integration with your natural bone.

For sinus lifts, we employ specialized piezoelectric instruments that selectively cut bone while preserving the delicate sinus membrane, significantly reducing complication risks.

This technology-driven approach, combined with our meticulous surgical execution, creates optimal conditions for successful implant placement even in challenging cases, enabling patients who were previously told they “don't have enough bone” to enjoy the benefits of secure, permanent implant restorations.
