In the back of the upper jaw the
sinuses often occupy a large amount of space. Often
very little bone remains and is not enough for implants.
Sinuses are large spaces in the bone and they have a thin
lining. To create bone the sinus lining can be lifted
and a bone graft can be placed in the floor under the
sinus lining and allowed to heal. The bone graft may be
obtained from some other part of the body or it may be
synthetic or obtained from a bone bank. This method of
creating bone prior to implant placement is very predictable.
