Bone and sinus treatment

Serving patients throughout Hanley, Tunstall, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it shrinks from lack of stimulation and can change the shape of your mouth. Loss of bone can also be caused by gum disease, tooth development defects, trauma, and by previous dental procedures where efforts were not made to restore natural bone.

Before dental implant treatment can begin your dentist will first need to check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully. If there is insufficient bone you may need to have pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.

At your initial consultation our implant dentist, Manoj Popat, will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Pre-treatment

Bone expansion

Your dentist may recommend a bone expansion if your jawbone is too narrow for a dental implant to be fitted. This involves making a small hole into your jawbone where your implant will eventually sit and using bone graft material to widen and strengthen the bone. The bone will be left to heal before a dental implant can be successfully installed.

Bone graft

Bone grafting is a treatment that is used to strengthen the area of bone your dental implant will be inserted into. This involves taking bone from elsewhere in the mouth and placing it in the area to be strengthened. After a number of months, this will fuse together, creating a stronger base for your implant.

Sinus lift

If there is not enough space to fit a dental implant in your upper jaw, Manoj may recommend a sinus lift. This involves moving the sinus membrane upwards to create space in your bone for your new tooth. Once the membrane has been moved, a bone graft will fill the space that has been created to make a suitable space for your dental implant.

Once Manoj is happy your bones and gums are healthy, your dental implant treatment can begin.

Being reassured

27th June 2025

I followed my previous dentist with whom I have followed for over 25 years. Having now experienced several dental practices, I feel at the age of 73 I can evaluate a dental practice quickly. I visited the practice before my appointment. I was very impressed with Sophie, the service manager. Her assistants were also so genuinely welcoming. I’ve had two appointments so far and have been delighted with my service. Well done, team.

Yannis took great care in ensuring that everything was just right, and that I was completely satisfied with the fitting of the crown. He explained all the process clearly all the way through, stopped immediately I asked and although appointment ran over time, I did not feel rushed in any way.

The professionalism and care taken by the hygienist was first class as it always is at this dental practice.Explained the whole process especially as today there were changes to the standard process which actually improved the experience. In simple terms the water being used in the cleaning process was warm and not ice cold.

13th June 2025

I don’t like going to the dentists and I was made to feel at ease all through my appointment (very important to me). The lady I saw was really good at explaining things to me, advising me and not rushing me. It was a very good experience for someone like me, making me not dread my next visit.

Yet again everyone listened to any concern. Good experience even though I don't like going. But they always make me feel comfortable

11th June 2025

I am a very nervous patient, however I am put at ease during all my experiences at this practice

10th June 2025

The hygienist and dentist were empathetic, respectful and informative. They spoke time in a way I would understand - but as an equal. I was not criticised for my dental care - I was supported to make improvements. Their explanations were credible and informed. Their treatment was confident but knew my boundaries of pain/sensitivity and paused without criticism whenever needed. Amazing team.

6th June 2025

The dentist was fantastic but no happy with how heavy handed the hygienist was she pressed on my gums very hard making them bleed with a small brush and they are still very sore now won’t be going to this lady again and I will inform the receptionist before my next appointment

6th June 2025

Great staff and I am a nervous patient and they put you at ease.
