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.

The dentist and dental nurse are aware of my high level of anxiety. There consideration and treating me with patience as an individual enables me to attend appointments, for which I am very grateful. They have earned my trust

I am 60 years old this year and it is the first time in my life that I have liked my smile.Manoj has made this possible.I was a nervous patient when I first met him, but he put me at ease with his kind, thoughtful and professional manner.His dental work is of the highest standard and I cannot recommend him enough.I have had crowns, veneers and an implant, all my amalgam fillings removed and a whitening programme, so a significant amount of work carried out. The staff at the practice are really friendly and welcoming at all times.

I cannot recommend this practice enough. Both my wife and I use this practice as our routine dentist and the staff from the front desk through to the dentists, hygienists and high level consultants are all remarkably friendly and super professional. Recently, they undertook some very complex and successful surgery on my wife which other practices had shied away from and we cannot praise them enough. A massive thank you to all at Newcastle Dental Practice from Steve and Ros.

Claire knows I feel stressed having to attend but is great as breaking up the procedure and trying to help me relax

Claire Perry listens to all my concerns & is very thorough. She suggested that I see Emily to check the red mass at the back of my tongue that had been worrying me, without raising my concerns further. Emily saw me within 24 hours, checked my tongue, discussed worries I have had due to medication side effects, reassured me about the health of my tongue and encouraged me to visit whenever I have other concerns about my oral health. First class treatment from both Claire & Emily. Thank you.

Fast appointment made on the same day. Thougough check from dentist who knew history and advised next steps should pain continue. Advice on which pharmacy to collect prescription from the receptionists.

2nd August 2025

All the staff are lovely and welcoming. I’ve always hated the dentist and had a real fear meaning I’ve not been for years. But all the staff have put me at ease since I walked in months ago and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

2nd August 2025

I was extremely n pleased with both the Clinician and the Hygenist. Both are known to me as I followed them from my previous Practice. They are both excellent!

Lovely friendly staff

23rd July 2025

I am a very nervous and frightened patient. The procedure I had today was long an unpleasant for me. However the support I received from Marcus, Molly and also the receptionist was fabulous. It could have turned out to be a lot more traumatic for me if it wasn't for the compassionate and skilled team. Thank you for doing everything you could to put me at ease! I would very much recommend this practise for anyone who is nervous or fearful.

The clarity of information given, quality of service and friendliness of staff.
