Bone Grafting

At Creditview Dental, our dentists may perform a bone graft or sinus lift procedure to help prepare Mississauga patients for a dental implant surgery.

Preparing for a Dental Implant

If your jaw bone is too soft or too thin to support a dental implant, a bone graft may be required. 

After the bone graft, you must wait a few months before having a dental implant placed to give the bone time to heal and grow new bone to support the implant. 

Sinus Lifts

A sinus lift is a type of bone graft in which your dentist adds bone material to the upper back jaw to prepare for the placement of a dental implant.

Because the upper back jaw is a difficult area to reach, a sinus lift helps to raise and increase the amount of bone in the sinus area so that an implant can be placed.
