New technique offers faster recovery, less discomfort, and better outcomes for patients previously told they were not candidates for dental implants.
CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Britten Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, a leading periodontal and implant dentistry practice in Clearwater, Florida, is now offering indirect sinus grafting —a minimally invasive procedure that prepares the upper jaw for successful dental implant placement. This advanced technique is ideal for patients with insufficient bone height in the posterior upper jaw, providing a stable foundation for long-term implant success.
Unlike traditional sinus lift procedures, indirect sinus grafting gently lifts the sinus membrane and places bone graft material through a less invasive approach. This reduces healing time, discomfort, and risk, making implant placement possible for more patients.
“Indirect sinus grafting is a game-changer for patients who were once told they couldn’t get dental implants due to bone loss in the upper jaw. This minimally invasive technique allows us to safely and comfortably create the bone support needed for implants, with less discomfort and quicker healing,” says Dr. Todd Britten, DMD, MS, board-certified periodontist. “Our goal is always to provide the most advanced care in the least invasive way possible, and this procedure helps us do just that for our Tampa Bay patients.”
Technology-Driven Precision and Patient-Focused Care
What sets Britten Periodontics apart is its use of CBCT 3D imaging for highly accurate treatment planning, combined with a personalized approach by a board-certified periodontist. Each graft is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, ensuring optimal results. This procedure is fully integrated into the practice’s in-house dental implant workflow, reducing the need for outside referrals and ensuring continuity of care from start to finish.
Benefits of indirect sinus grafting include:
- Less invasive than traditional sinus lifts
- Reduced patient discomfort
- Shortened recovery time
- Lower risk of complications
- Improved implant success rates
