How is a dental implant placed when my missing upper molar is right next to the sinus? Placing a dental implant near the sinus starts with a CBCT scan — a 3D X-ray that shows exactly how much bone sits between your upper jaw and the sinus floor. Dr. Saurabh Shrivastava, MDS Prosthodontist at Smile Gallery, explains that upper back molars often have thin bone above them because the sinus expands after tooth loss. Dental implants in this zone have a 98% survival rate at 5 years when planned properly. So what happens if bone is too thin? A sinus lift is done — gently raising the sinus membrane and adding bone graft to create space for the implant. Sometimes both are done together, sometimes staged. I've had patients travel from Awadhpuri worried this procedure is risky. With 3D imaging and guided placement, it's predictable and comfortable.
