Bone Graft and Sinus Lift in Coimbatore
The short answer: A bone graft adds bone material to areas where the jaw has become thin, and a sinus lift raises the floor of the sinus to make room for upper back implants. These procedures create enough bone for an implant to be placed securely. They are planned using a 3D scan.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, topped with a crown, bridge or denture. Planning uses an examination and a scan to check bone and gum health. Implants can replace one tooth, several teeth or a full arch, and need regular cleaning like natural teeth.
