These procedures are often necessary when there isn’t enough bone in the jaw to support dental implants. Bone grafting strengthens weak areas, while sinus lifts increase bone height in the upper jaw for safe and stable implant placement.
At Lakewood Dental in Carshalton, we believe every patient deserves a strong, healthy foundation for their smile. Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures are advanced techniques that restore lost bone volume, allowing for secure, long-lasting dental implants.

Bone grafting is a procedure that restores lost bone tissue in your jaw, creating a solid foundation for dental implants. When teeth are missing for a long time, the bone that once supported them begins to shrink. This can make implant placement difficult without additional bone support.
Bone grafting uses natural or synthetic materials to rebuild the jaw, promoting new bone growth and strength. It’s a safe, effective treatment that allows patients who were previously unsuitable for implants to enjoy the benefits of a fixed, permanent smile.
A sinus lift, sometimes called a sinus augmentation, is a type of bone graft used to increase bone height in the upper jaw, particularly near the molars and premolars.
When there isn’t enough bone to place implants safely due to enlarged sinuses or bone loss, your dentist gently lifts the sinus membrane and adds bone material beneath it. This creates the necessary bone depth for stable implant placement in the upper jaw.
Both procedures are highly predictable and form an essential part of successful, long-term implant dentistry.
01
Your treatment begins with an in-depth consultation at our Carshalton practice. We use CBCT and iTero 3D digital scans to analyse your bone structure and plan treatment with absolute precision. These digital images help our team determine whether bone grafting, a sinus lift, or both are required to achieve the best result.
02
Under local anaesthetic, Dr Javier Perez places the bone graft material in the targeted area. The procedure is comfortable, minimally invasive and carefully designed to encourage natural bone regeneration.
03
Over several months, your body gradually replaces the graft material with its own natural bone. This process strengthens your jaw and prepares it for the next stage of your implant journey.
04
Once healing is complete, your jawbone is ready to securely support dental implants. Most patients can move forward with implant treatment within three to nine months, depending on individual healing progress.

These procedures are often necessary when there isn’t enough bone in the jaw to support dental implants. Bone grafting strengthens weak areas, while sinus lifts increase bone height in the upper jaw for safe and stable implant placement.
Healing typically takes between three and nine months, depending on the size of the graft and your overall health. Our team monitors your progress closely and will let you know when your jaw is ready for implant placement.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic to ensure comfort throughout. Afterward, mild tenderness or swelling may occur for a few days, but this is easily managed with routine pain relief and aftercare guidance.
