Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw.
Sinus Lift is a surgical method by which we can increase the amount bone tissue of the upper jaw, above the molars and premolars.
The maxillary sinuses are behind your cheeks and on top of the upper teeth and are like empty rooms that have nothing in them. Some of the roots of the natural upper teeth extend up into the maxillary sinuses. When these upper teeth are removed, there is often just a thin wall of bone separating the maxillary sinus and the mouth. Dental implants need bone to hold them in place. When the sinus wall is very thin, it is impossible to place dental implants in this bone.
To address this problem the dentist will enter the sinus from where the upper teeth used to be. The sinus membrane is then lifted upward and donor bone is inserted into the floor of the sinus. After healing, the bone becomes part of the patient’s jaw and dental implants can be inserted and stabilized in this new sinus bone.
If enough bone between the upper jaw ridge and the bottom of the sinus is available to stabilize the implant well, sinus augmentations and implant placement can sometimes be performed as a single procedure. If not enough bone is available, the Sinus Augmentation will have to be performed first, then the graft will have to mature for several months, depending upon the type of graft material used. Once the graft has matured, the implants can be placed.

I have been a patient of Dr. Khan for the past several years and I am glad and happy to write this review. He is one of the few doctors in the field of Medical Dentistry, especially in implants, to be the greatest. He possesses a great, substantial expertise in dental implants; and his illustrious and notable dealing with the patient is very special and deserves to be applauded and complimented. Dr. Khan is not looking after the revenue, but patient satisfaction and performance as per the needs, are his primary goals. I have several issues pertaining to my case, which was masterfully and artistically completed to my satisfaction by Dr. Khan. The front office staff is very wonderful, accommodating, and show flexibility in scheduling, even if they are busy at times. In my opinion, I felt as though my choice of selecting Dr. Khan as my dentist has given me satisfaction beyond my expectations. I would endorse Dr. Khan as a superb doctor, dentist, and a compassionate professional.
Dr. Khan did a great job with my dental implants. He was very gentle and attentive. My smile looks amazing now! All of his staff are friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend Mr. Khan to my friends and family.
Researching on line implants, crowns and other dental care, I came across Dr Khan's Web Site. Checking the reviews, I found 75 reviews, all 5 STARS!!! Amazing. I made an appoint and am now his patient. Everything in the reviews are true! Not only a great doctor, but the staff is also exceptionally good. I have total confidence in this office...we now have a plan for my dental care. Beyond my expectations.
I went to Dr. Khan for a tooth extraction and implant after cracking my tooth on a popcorn kernel. Dr. Khan and his staff are exceedingly kind and helpful, and his office is very well-organized. Even after I lost my retainer he replaced it with no extra charge, which is particularly exceptional given his rates are lower than any others I found. I don't like getting dental work, but this was the least unpleasant complex dental procedure I've ever had. Can't recommend him highly enough!
I did a lot of research when it comes to dental implants professional . and dr Khan was my ultimate choice after meeting with him during my free consultation appointment. he was very knowledgeable and didn't try to sell me anything i didnt go in for. i got my tree implants procedure done from the beginning until he was sure it was 100% successful and took extra time to make sure i will be happy with the results as well. i highly recommend dr. Khan for any dental procedure you are in need
Super wonderful dentist and staff! Dr Khan made me feel comfortable on my very 1st visit. Such a great comforting personality and sweet chairside manners. I've had upper and lower implants done and even though these are just my temporary teeth they are gorgeous! In the fall I will have the permanent ones! I am looking forward to my beautiful permanent teeth! You guys are super!
Had major work done including implants. Experience was great compared to previous dentists I've been to. Staff is very friendly and efficient. I'm very happy to have found this dentist.
Professional and Gentle describe the experience you have at Dr. Khan's dental office. The staff is friendly and ready to serve. The Doctor created a plan of care for my teeth so that I may keep them long into my old age - and I appreciate that! The office is open and airy and clean. It is a pleasure to go for my cleanings and for any work that needs to be done on my teeth. Fear not the dentist!
