This video highlights the level of surgical judgment, dexterity, and experience required to successfully treat ridges that many clinicians consider “unrestorable.”
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
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

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.
