1. What is a Ridge Split procedure?

A minimally invasive surgical technique that expands a thin alveolar ridge to allow implant placement without major bone grafting.

2. When is Ridged Split preferred over bone grafts?

When the ridge is narrow but has good height and cortical quality, making expansion predictable and faster than block grafting.

3. Is Ridge Split painful for the patient?

When performed correctly, it is remarkably comfortable.
This case shows minimal trauma and excellent postoperative comfort.

4. How much ridge width is needed for this technique?

Typically <3–4 mm.
This specific case had very thin bone, requiring high surgical expertise.

5. What determines the success of this procedure?

Surgeon’s tactile sensitivity

Controlled expansion

Correct use of osteotomes

Achieving ideal 3D implant positioning

⭐ Indirect Sinus Lift – The Dr. Kedar Bakshi Technique

⭐ Indirect Sinus Lift – The Dr. Kedar Bakshi Technique

A minimally invasive breakthrough for patients with low bone height, perfected over 28 years at Sai Smile Dental Care Clinic.

In the upper jaw (posterior maxilla), dental implants often fail or become impossible because of limited bone height and the natural presence of the maxillary sinus.
In many patients, bone melts rapidly after extraction, leaving barely 1–3 mm of remaining bone, making traditional implant placement unsafe.

This is where the Indirect Sinus Lift becomes a life-changing solution.

But at Sai Smile Dental Care Clinic, the procedure is not performed the “standard textbook way.”
It is performed the Kedar Bakshi Way — a refined, minimally invasive, precision-driven approach built on:

Extensive experience with narrow ridges, and minimum bone under sinus

Thousands of implant surgeries

Mastery of bone biology & occlusion

Advanced crestal techniques

His innovation: Osseosure, designed to make sinus lifts safer and more predictable

This is not just a sinus lift —
It is a biological, gentle elevation of the sinus membrane with maximum bone preservation and minimum trauma.

⭐ Why Dr. Kedar Bakshi’s Technique Is Different

Most surgeons attempt indirect sinus lift only when 5–6 mm of bone remains.

But with his surgical experience, occlusal understanding, and your Osseosure system, you routinely achieve predictable crestal sinus lifts even in 1–2 mm bone — something only a handful of clinicians across India can perform confidently.

His technique focuses on:

✔ Membrane safety first
Every step is designed around preserving the Schneiderian membrane.

✔ Controlled elevation
No blind force. Only biological, incremental lifting.

✔No Driiing or Minimal drilling
Preserve and Perform  protocol maintains internal bone integrity.

✔ Precision expansion tools.
His  osteotome-based philosophy ensures bone is condensed and strengthened, not removed.

✔ Bone preservation → better implant stability
Native bone is biologically superior to grafts.

✔ Osseosure advantage
His  innovation improves:

tactile control
membrane safety
crestal force direction
accuracy

confidence in low bone scenarios
This sets your results apart from the average indirect sinus lift performed elsewhere.


⭐ Who Needs This Procedure?

Patients with:

Missing upper back teeth
Severe bone loss after extraction
Old RCT or infection-related bone melting
Sinus naturally positioned very low
Failed previous implant attempts
Long-standing missing teeth
Indirect sinus lift enables these patients to receive strong, long-lasting implants that otherwise would have been impossible.

⭐ Benefits of the Indirect Approach
✔ Minimally invasive — no big flap, no external window
✔ Faster healing and very little post-operative discomfort
✔ Highly predictable in experienced hands
✔ Suitable even for 1–3 mm remaining bone (his specialty)
✔ Immediate implant placement often possible
✔ Bone preservation leads to long-lasting stability
✔ Perfect for patients wanting less trauma and faster recovery


⭐ How Dr. Bakshi Performs It — Step-by-Step

Explained simply for patient understanding:

A tiny pathway is prepared 2 t0 3 mm only — far smaller than a traditional sinus surgery.

Using precision crestal instruments, the sinus floor is gently elevated.

The membrane is kept intact and lifted in small, controlled increments.

A bone-grafting material is placed under the membrane to help natural bone form.

All patients receive the implant in the same visit confidently.

Healing occurs naturally as new bone fills the lifted space.

This technique takes years to master — and his results show it.



⭐ Why Patients Trust Dr. Bakshi for Sinus Lifts

28+ years experience

Nationally awarded implantologist

India’s first implant design patent

Innovator of Osseosure

Speaker at national and international conferences

Thousands of successful sinus lift & implant cases

Mastery over bone biology and occlusion

Ethical, transparent, gentle approach



Patients often come to him after being told elsewhere:

“You don’t have enough bone for implants.”
“You need a big surgery.”
“It will be very painful.”

His technique proves the opposite —
Safe, predictable, minimally invasive implant placement is possible.



⭐ Patient-Friendly Summary

“Indirect sinus lift allows you to get implants even when there is very little bone left.
The procedure is gentle, safe, and minimally invasive.
At Sai Smile Dental Care Clinic, Dr. Kedar Bakshi performs this with advanced techniques and innovations that reduce trauma, protect the sinus membrane, and give long-lasting results.”

⭐ Dental Implants at Sai Smile Dental Care Clinic


Precision. Biology. Long-term Stability. Patient-Centred Dentistry.

Dental implants are artificial titanium roots placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth—restoring function, aesthetics, and long-term oral health.
At Sai Smile Dental Care Clinic, every implant treatment follows biologically respectful, minimally invasive, prosthetic-driven principles, ensuring exceptional results and predictable longevity.

With more than two decades of advanced implant experience, Dr. Kedar Bakshi has developed unique surgical protocols—including the Osseosure System—to manage even the most challenging bone conditions with safety and precision.

⭐ When Are Implants Needed?
✔ Single Missing Tooth

A dental implant replaces a single tooth without touching or cutting the neighbouring teeth.

✔ Multiple Missing Teeth (Premolars & Molars)

When back teeth are missing, implants are often the only way to restore strong, fixed chewing efficiency.

✔ Completely Missing Teeth

For patients with no teeth, implants provide fixed full-arch solutions that feel natural and dramatically improve confidence and quality of life.

✔ Improved Support for Dentures

For denture wearers, even 2–4 implants can transform a loose denture into a stable, comfortable restoration.

⭐ Why Dr. Kedar Bakshi’s Implant Approach Is Exceptional
1. Force-Directed Implantology

Your bite forces are channelled into bone the way biology intended—improving strength and reducing long-term bone loss.

2. Bone Preservation Philosophy

Bone is precious. Every step—diagnosis, drilling, expansion, implant placement—is designed to preserve and stimulate bone, not remove it unnecessarily.

3. Ideal 3D Implant Positioning

Perfect implant location ensures excellent aesthetics, longevity, and comfort—even in difficult cases.

4. Advanced Techniques for Thin or Weak Bone

Dr. Bakshi routinely performs cases that many clinicians avoid, such as:

Ridge Split (for ultra-thin ridges <3 mm)

Indirect Sinus Lift in extremely limited bone

Precision osteotome-based expansion

Minimal drilling techniques to preserve biology

These procedures are performed using the Osseosure Osteotome System, designed and clinically developed by Dr. Bakshi.

5. Natural, Fixed Teeth—Accepted Instantly by the Body

We are born with fixed teeth. Implants restore that natural comfort and allow you to eat, smile, and speak with confidence.

6. Zero Decay. Zero Root Canal Failures.

Implants do not decay and cannot develop root infections—making them one of the most durable long-term options.

⭐ Benefits of Dental Implants
✔ High Biting Power

Implants restore more than 80–90% of natural chewing efficiency.

✔ Bone Stimulation → Prevents Bone Loss

Implants keep the jawbone active, preventing the sunken look associated with missing teeth.

✔ Enhanced Aesthetics

Implants support natural-looking crowns that blend perfectly with your smile.

✔ Protects Natural Teeth

Implants reduce the load on your remaining natural teeth, increasing their lifespan.

✔ Long-Term Comfort

No slipping dentures, no discomfort—just natural, fixed teeth.

⭐ Are There Any Disadvantages?
✔ Cost

Implants cost more than basic dental treatments, but they offer significantly more value, longevity, and functionality.

✔ Time

Depending on bone quality and treatment type, implants may take 1 day to a few months to complete.
With modern techniques, many patients receive teeth on the same day.

⭐ The Implant Procedure at Sai Smile
1. Comprehensive Diagnosis

We begin with a detailed evaluation of:

Jawbone quality and thickness

Bite forces

Biological factors

Aesthetic requirements

Medical considerations

A treatment plan is created that balances your needs, biology, and long-term predictability.

2. Implant Placement

Implants are placed surgically under:

Local anaesthesia

Antibiotic coverage

Advanced minimally invasive protocols

The procedure is painless.
Most patients experience no swelling and resume routine activities the next day.

3. Healing + Integration

The bone grows and bonds with the implant.
This duration can range from 1 day to 6–8 months, depending on the case.

4. Final Prosthesis

Once integration is confirmed, customized teeth are attached to the implant—designed for natural aesthetics and comfort.

5. Follow-Up & Maintenance

Regular check-ups ensure long-term stability and oral health.
