Sinus Lifting & Bone Grafts for Dental Implants in Guildford
If you have been told you do not have enough bone for dental implants, do not worry.
At Woodbridge Hill Dental Practice, we provide advanced sinus lifts, crestal sinus lift, lateral window sinus lift, advanced bone grafts and pterygoid implant options for suitable patients.
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.

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 and may be suitable for carefully selected cases where the existing bone level is close to what is needed.
Lateral Window Sinus Lift
A lateral window sinus lift may be recommended when more bone height is needed in the upper back jaw. This approach gives the dentist better access to gently lift the sinus membrane and place bone graft material to help create a stronger foundation for future implants.
Advanced Bone Grafts
Advanced bone grafting can help rebuild areas where bone has reduced after tooth loss, infection, trauma or gum problems. The aim is to improve bone volume and create better support for dental implants where natural bone is limited.
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
