Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts
Dental Bone Grafts in Phoenix, AZ — Building the Foundation for Lasting Implants
Been told you don't have enough bone for dental implants? Bone grafting may be exactly what changes that. Our board-certified oral surgeons perform sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, socket preservation, and PRF/PRP procedures.
About the Service
Four Procedures. One Goal: A Strong Foundation for Your Implants.
A dental bone graft rebuilds bone in the jaw so an implant has a firm base. Tänder's board-certified oral surgeons do dental bone grafts in Phoenix and across the East Valley, at partner dental offices in Mesa, Gilbert and San Tan Valley or at your own dentist's office.
Socket preservation, also called ridge preservation, places bone graft material into an extraction socket to maintain volume while it heals. A sinus lift elevates the sinus membrane in the upper jaw to create more vertical bone for implants. Ridge augmentation rebuilds width and height where significant bone loss has occurred.
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), derived from your own blood, are used where your surgeon feels it is appropriate, to support healing.
Grafting is often the first step before dental implants in Phoenix or All-on-X. It can also follow a tooth extraction.
Candidacy
Am I a Candidate?
Whether you are a candidate depends on your health, your goals and your imaging. The list below shows common situations where patients ask about this care. A board-certified Tänder surgeon reviews your case at a free consultation and gives you an honest answer, with no obligation to move forward.
- Socket preservation: often considered when a tooth is extracted and an implant is planned for later
- Sinus lift: when upper back teeth have been missing long enough for the sinus floor to descend
- Ridge augmentation: significant reduction in jaw ridge width or height from tooth loss, trauma, or infection
- PRF/PRP: may be combined with any of the above where appropriate
Been Told You Don’t Qualify?
You're not alone — and that conversation isn't always final. Bone loss is one of the most common reasons for implant refusal, and bone grafting is specifically designed to address it. A CBCT scan at your consultation shows your bone volume in detail and gives you an honest, specific assessment.

Procedures
Bone Graft Procedures We Perform in Phoenix
Socket (Ridge) Preservation After an Extraction
Socket preservation, also called ridge preservation, places bone graft material into an extraction socket to maintain volume while it heals. Patients often ask about it when a tooth is extracted and an implant is planned for later. Socket preservation in Phoenix typically costs $300–$800 per site. That is an estimate, not a quote. Your surgeon confirms the plan and exact price after reviewing your imaging. Tänder surgeons also place dental implants, so the next step stays in one coordinated plan.
Sinus Lift for Upper Back Teeth
A sinus lift elevates the sinus membrane in the upper jaw to create more vertical bone for implants. Patients ask about it when upper back teeth have been missing long enough for the sinus floor to descend. At Tänder, sinus lifts are done by board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons who completed hospital-based residency training. A sinus lift in Phoenix typically costs $2,000–$5,000 depending on the extent of augmentation needed. A CBCT scan at your consultation shows your bone volume in detail.
Ridge Augmentation for Jaw Bone Loss
Ridge augmentation rebuilds width and height where significant bone loss has occurred. Patients ask about it after a reduction in jaw ridge width or height from tooth loss, trauma, or infection. It typically costs $2,000–$8,000 depending on the extent of bone loss and graft volume. That is an estimate, not a quote. Been told you do not have enough bone? A free consultation gives you an honest answer, with no obligation to move forward.
PRF and PRP, Made From Your Own Blood
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) are derived from your own blood. Your surgeon uses them where it is appropriate for your case. Ask at your free consultation whether PRF or PRP is right for you. Your surgeon explains the plan, including which steps your case needs and in what order. Bring your questions and any recent dental X-rays.

Dental Bone Grafts — Frequently Asked Questions
Typically three to six months, depending on the type and extent of grafting needed. Your surgeon sets the timing after reviewing your imaging at a consultation. Tänder surgeons also place dental implants, so grafting and the implant that follows stay in one coordinated plan with one surgical team.
Performed under anesthesia with manageable post-operative discomfort, similar to an extraction. Expect some swelling and discomfort, managed with prescribed medication, and a soft diet at first. Your surgeon explains what to expect for your own case at your free consultation, and you get the contact details of the office where you were treated.
Coverage varies by plan. Some plans may provide partial coverage when a graft is medically necessary, particularly for socket preservation.
