For patients who have experienced bone loss in the jaw, bone grafting and sinus lifts are often necessary to create a stable foundation for dental implants. At Hylo Park Dental & Implants in North Las Vegas, we provide advanced surgical solutions to ensure long-term implant success.
Bone loss can occur for many reasons, including tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. Without adequate bone support, implants cannot be placed securely. Bone grafting allows us to restore lost bone and prepare the site for future implant placement.
A sinus lift is a specific type of bone graft used in the upper jaw, where the sinus cavity may be too close to the area of implant placement. This procedure gently raises the sinus membrane and places bone material to create sufficient height for implants.
Using advanced imaging and surgical techniques, our team ensures precise, comfortable treatment. Over time, the grafted bone integrates naturally, providing a strong, lasting foundation for implants.
