No Bone for Implants? No Worries
Dental implants need healthy bone for support. In the upper back jaw, the bone can sometimes be too thin because the sinus sits close to the mouth, or because bone has reduced after tooth loss.
Sinus lifting and bone grafting can help rebuild the foundation needed for dental implants. These procedures are carefully planned to create better support for future implant placement.
- Free consultation available worth £50
- Free CBCT 3D scan worth £169
- 0% finance available
- Advanced sinus lifts and bone grafts
- Pterygoid implant options where suitable
Book Your Implant Consultation
Our implant team will assess your jawbone, sinus position, gum health and treatment goals before explaining whether sinus lifting, bone grafting or pterygoid implants are suitable for you.
What Are Sinus Lifting & Bone Grafts?
A sinus lift is a dental implant procedure used when there is not enough bone height in the upper back jaw. The sinus membrane is carefully lifted, and bone graft material is placed to help create more bone support for implants.
Bone grafting can also be used in other areas of the mouth where the jawbone has reduced after tooth loss, infection, gum disease or trauma.
These treatments can help make dental implants possible for patients who have previously been told they do not have enough bone.
Sinus Lift and Bone Graft Treatment Explained
Sinus lifting and bone grafting are used to improve the foundation for dental implants. Your dentist will explain the procedure, healing time and implant plan during your consultation.
The aim is to create enough stable bone to support implants safely and predictably.
- Improves bone support for implants
- Useful for upper back tooth replacement
- Planned with CBCT 3D imaging
- Can be combined with implant planning
- Designed for long-term implant stability

Crestal Sinus Lift, Lateral Window Sinus Lift and Bone Grafts
Different sinus lift and bone graft techniques may be recommended depending on your bone level, sinus position, implant plan and overall oral health. Your dentist will explain which option is most suitable after your consultation and CBCT 3D scan.
Crestal Sinus Lift
A crestal sinus lift is often used when only a smaller amount of extra bone height is needed in the upper jaw. This technique is usually carried out through the implant site.
Lateral Window Sinus Lift
A lateral window sinus lift may be recommended when more bone height is needed in the upper back jaw. It gives better access to lift the sinus membrane and place bone graft material.
Advanced Bone Grafts
Advanced bone grafting can help rebuild areas where bone has reduced after tooth loss, infection, trauma or gum problems.
Pterygoid Implants for Severe Bone Loss
In some advanced cases, patients may have very limited bone in the upper back jaw. Pterygoid implants may be considered as an alternative option for selected patients.
These implants are placed in a different area of the upper jaw and may help support implant treatment when traditional implant placement is difficult.
Suitability depends on your anatomy, bone structure, medical history and full implant assessment.
- Option for selected advanced implant cases
- May help when upper jaw bone is limited
- Planned with CBCT 3D imaging
- Used as part of advanced implant treatment planning

Frequently Asked Questions About Sinus Lifting & Bone Grafts
What is a sinus lift?
A sinus lift is a procedure used to increase bone height in the upper back jaw by gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material underneath.
Why would I need a bone graft before implants?
You may need a bone graft if the jawbone is too thin or too reduced to support a dental implant safely.
What is a crestal sinus lift?
A crestal sinus lift is a sinus lift approach often used when only a smaller amount of extra bone height is needed.
What is a lateral window sinus lift?
A lateral window sinus lift is usually used when more bone height is needed in the upper back jaw before implant placement.
What if I have been told I have no bone for implants?
You may still have options. Advanced bone grafting, sinus lifting or pterygoid implants may be suitable depending on your assessment and 3D scan.
