Bone Graft and Sinus Lift in Lewisham

When Bone Loss Affects Your Implant Options

After tooth loss, the jawbone naturally shrinks over time.

This can make the area too shallow or soft to support an implant securely.

If left untreated, bone loss may continue, limiting future restoration options.

Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures restore lost bone so implants can be placed safely and comfortably.

At ToothBrush Dental in Lewisham, you receive clear explanations and supportive care at every stage so the process feels calm and manageable.
