Bone Graft Sinus Lift For Implants

When getting dental implants, sometimes there isn't enough jawbone to support them, especially in the upper back jaw near the sinuses. A **bone graft** is a procedure where extra bone material is added to build up the jawbone. A **sinus lift** is a specific type of bone graft that gently pushes up the sinus membrane to create space for this new bone, allowing for successful implant placement.
