Implant bone grafting – Sinus lift with little bone

The roots of the upper molars are located in the floor of the maxillary sinuses (the floor of the sinuses). When molars are lost, especially over a longer period, the necessary stress is absent, and the jawbone becomes increasingly thin; this leads to bone loss, making bone grafting necessary. Even dentures that rest directly on the gums can negatively affect the bone structure in the upper jaw. Long-term misalignment often leads to further – sometimes significant – bone loss, making bone grafting necessary for implants to integrate properly.
