Bone Grafting and Sinus Lift in Gurgaon
Being told that there is not enough bone for an implant is a reason for further assessment. Bone grafting and, in selected upper-jaw cases, a sinus lift may help prepare the site. The right approach depends on your imaging, health and intended tooth replacement.
At Mahavirai Dental and Medical Care, implant planning is coordinated with the oral and maxillofacial surgery team. Dr. Ankush Mahajan and Dr. Lakshay Gupta handle surgical assessment and procedures within their scope; Dr. Shipra Jain leads the clinic and implant treatment planning.
Grafting is one part of implant planning, not a separate decision based only on how long a tooth has been missing. The consultation considers whether additional bone is needed for the proposed implant position, and which alternatives are reasonable.
A sinus lift concerns the upper back jaw. Other grafting procedures address the width or shape of the ridge. Ask the surgeon to show you the relevant area on your imaging and explain why the proposed procedure fits that site.
Why patients choose us for this
Planning around the final tooth
The surgical plan is considered alongside the position and design of the intended implant restoration.
Named surgical team
Discuss the procedure, alternatives and recovery with the oral and maxillofacial surgeons involved in your care.
Staged choices explained
Your consultation covers whether grafting is needed, whether it can accompany implant placement, or whether a staged approach is appropriate.
A complete estimate
Ask for the graft, surgical appointments, implant and restoration to be clearly identified in your written plan.
What to expect
- 01
Review the site
Bring existing scans and treatment records. The team assesses the missing-tooth area and arranges additional imaging only where needed.
- 02
Compare the options
Discuss the proposed graft or sinus procedure, alternatives, material choices and individual risks.
- 03
Plan the surgery
The surgeon explains the setting, anaesthesia, preparation and sequence of appointments before you consent.
- 04
Check healing
Attend planned reviews. The next implant stage follows the clinical assessment of healing rather than a fixed promise.
Your options
Ridge augmentation
A graft may be considered where additional bone volume is needed at the intended implant site.
Sinus augmentation
A sinus procedure may be considered where limited bone height beneath the upper-jaw sinus affects implant planning.
An alternative plan
Depending on the findings, a different implant or non-implant replacement plan may be discussed instead of grafting.
How long it takes
Some plans combine procedures; others require healing between stages. Ask for an individual timeline, including how healing will be checked.
What it costs
The procedure, site and material affect the fee. A graft estimate should explain which later implant or restorative stages are separate.
Get a written estimateUnderstand the risks before deciding
Ask about infection, healing problems, additional procedures and, for a sinus lift, membrane or sinus complications. The surgeon should explain which risks apply to your case and what follow-up is planned.

Frequently asked questions
Does every dental implant need a bone graft?
No. The decision depends on the bone available at the planned site and the proposed restoration.
Is a sinus lift the same as a bone graft?
A sinus lift addresses limited bone height near the sinus in the upper back jaw and can involve adding graft material. Bone grafting elsewhere addresses a different site or defect.
Can the implant be placed at the same appointment?
Sometimes. In other cases the site must heal first. Your surgeon explains the proposed sequence after reviewing the site.
Who performs the surgical procedure?
The oral and maxillofacial surgery team assesses and carries out the surgical care. The clinician responsible for your procedure is confirmed when your plan is agreed.
How much does bone grafting or a sinus lift cost?
Fees depend on the site, procedure, materials and number of stages. The consultation separates those costs from the implant and final tooth replacement.
