Implant placement becomes complicated when the height and width of the bone is compromised especially in the posterior maxillary region due to the presence of sinus. This case report presents the rehabilitation of the left maxillary premolar region by using indirect sinus lift and ridge splitting followed by immediate implant placement where the bone height and bone width was compromised. It helps in reducing the treatment time and increases the patient comfort.
