Dental implants rely on a healthy, strong jawbone for long-term success. However, in some cases, bone loss or insufficient bone height in the upper jaw can make implant placement difficult. At Alpha Dental Group, we provide sinus lift and bone augmentation procedures—specialist treatments that rebuild and strengthen your jawbone, creating a stable foundation for implants and restoring your smile with confidence.
A sinus lift (also called sinus augmentation) is a surgical procedure used to increase bone height in the upper back jaw, where the bone is naturally thinner and located close to the sinus cavity.
During the procedure, the sinus membrane is carefully lifted, and bone grafting material is placed beneath it. Over time, this graft integrates with your natural bone, providing the volume needed to securely hold dental implants.

Bone grafting materials—either natural or synthetic—are used to restore bone density and volume, ensuring a strong, reliable base for future implants.
You may be advised to have these procedures if:
We begin with detailed scans to assess bone levels and determine the best approach.
Depending on your needs, the sinus membrane is gently lifted and graft material is placed, or bone augmentation is performed in other areas of the jaw.
The grafted bone integrates with your natural bone over several months, creating a strong, stable foundation.
Once healing is complete, your implants can be placed with confidence in their long-term success.
No. Local anaesthesia is used, and sedation options are available. Some mild swelling or discomfort may occur afterwards, but usually settles within a few days.
Healing typically takes 4–9 months, depending on the amount of grafting required, before implants can be placed.
Not always. It is only required if you lack sufficient bone height in the upper back jaw.
We use safe, high-quality grafting materials, which may be natural or synthetic, designed to integrate with your own bone.
