Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifts in Torrance, CA

At times, the goal of a perfect smile with dental implants faces a roadblock: insufficient bone structure. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to give up on your dream. At Chan Dental, we offer bone grafting and sinus lifts that make it possible to attain your goal of a complete smile with dental implants. 

Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts for Implant Stability

You wouldn’t build a home on shaky ground, and the same goes for dental implants. For an implant to be successful, it requires a strong foundation to support it. 

Procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts are the solution if you lack sufficient bone density or have sinus positioning issues. The goal for both is the same—make successful implant placement possible so you can take advantage of this fantastic tooth replacement. 

Bone grafting at our Torrance dental office involves building up bone in the area where we want to place the implant. The bone material may come from your own body or a donor. As it heals, the bone material integrates with natural bone in the jaw. 

Healing times vary but can take six months or longer. During this period, we will monitor your progress, and Dr. Chan will let you know when the new bone is strong enough to support the dental implant. 

While the path to getting an implant may sound intricate, the fact is that bone grafting is a very common procedure. Rest assured, we will walk you through the steps to ensure you feel confident about the process. 

Sinus Lifts: A Stable Foundation for Upper Jaw Implants

Another situation we may encounter is the position of your sinuses relative to where we need to place the implant. If there isn’t enough bone height in the upper jaw, we may recommend a sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation. A sinus lift involves using bone grafting to create the bone structure necessary to support the dental implant. 

At Chan Dental, we value your comfort and peace of mind above all. With Dr. Chan and his experienced dental team, you can expect nothing less than top-tier care. Beginning with a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Chan ensures you are informed, comfortable, and confident with your treatment plan. 

After implant placement, we will develop a detailed aftercare plan, combined with regular check-ins, to ensure implant success.
