Sinus Lift with Bone Grafts vs Affordable Graftless Dental Implants: The Best Solution for Full Mouth Rehabilitation

While basal implants were once considered a viable graft less alternative, they are now largely outdated and not globally accepted. These implants rely on mechanical fixation, not biological fusion (osseointegration), and support non-removable, cemented prostheses that are difficult to maintain. Additionally, basal implants are not FDA approved and lack support from academic dental institutions in countries like the USA, UK, or Australia. Patients are now encouraged to choose safer and more proven alternatives like the CPBCCI Protocol™ using conventional, two-piece implants.

With graftless protocols like CPBCCI™, permanent fixed teeth can be delivered within 5 to 7 days. This is in sharp contrast to traditional bone grafting and sinus lift methods that require a healing period of 6 to 12 months before final prosthesis placement. Immediate loading is possible because the implants are anchored securely in dense, native cortical bone.

Yes, sinus lift surgery is an invasive procedure that involves lifting the sinus membrane and placing graft material. It requires months of healing, can cause discomfort, and carries risks like infection or sinus complications. Most patients prefer to avoid it if possible, especially when modern graftless techniques can achieve the same or better results in less time and with fewer complications.

Some of the known risks include sinus membrane perforation, infection, graft failure, extended healing time, and an overall increase in treatment duration and cost. Moreover, even after months of healing, there’s no guarantee that the graft will integrate successfully, which may further delay or alter the implant plan.

Yes, especially when used with protocols like CPBCCI™. Conventional implants allow osseointegration, use screw-retained prostheses that are easier to repair or clean, and offer multi-unit abutments for angulation control. They are globally accepted, FDA-approved, and offer long-term stability, making them the preferred choice over basal implants.

Absolutely. If you've been told you’re not a candidate for implants due to severe bone loss or a dropped sinus, you should seek a second opinion from a clinic offering advanced graftless protocols like the CPBCCI™. These techniques engage native cortical bone, eliminating the need for bone grafts or sinus lifts while still delivering full mouth rehabilitation.

At LBR Dental & Implant Center, patients receive permanent teeth, not just temporaries in as little as 5 to 7 days. These are typically Zirconia or ceramic prostheses fixed on conventional implants placed using the CPBCCI Protocol™, ensuring long-term function and aesthetics.

Yes, the CPBCCI Protocol™ uses globally recognized, FDA-approved implant systems and follows international best practices in implantology. The prostheses are screw-retained, making them easy to maintain or repair back home. This makes it an ideal option for patients from the USA, UK, Australia, and other developed nations who seek quality care without the risks of lesser-known or unapproved systems like basal implants.

Most patients even those with severe bone loss in the upper jaw—are eligible for graftless solutions when assessed by experienced implantologists. A clinical evaluation with CBCT imaging can determine your candidacy. Clinics like LBR Dental specialize in treating complex cases using advanced techniques such as pterygoid and zygomatic implants or the CPBCCI Protocol™ with conventional implants.
