I am confused about my dentists advice, can you help?

December 2nd, 2011
Q.
After the removal of my UR back molar due to bone loss I had to have root canal on the next UR molar which now has to be extracted as it cracked across. They advised I would need sinus lift and bone graft before an implant could replace the tooth. My dentist is advising I don’t need a sinus lift but would extract then do a bone graft at same time as first stage implantation. Is this a secure way to go or should I have 1st stage implant after the bone graft has healed? Thanks for your advice – I’m confused!,

bone growth dental implants

December 2nd, 2011
Q.
Over the last year I had the UR back molar removed due to bone loss and the second UR was successfully root canaled but then cracked across so I need to have it removed and an implant placed. My dentist wants to remove and do a bone graft simultaneous with the implant pin and then leave for 5-6mths for the bone to grow. She says this is safe and has done it before although I understand from this site that bone graft is normally done before inserting the implant pin. I was advised that I would need a sinus lift & a bone graft – my dentist doesn’t think the sinus lift is necessary as I have not had the tooth removed yet. Very confused want to do the right thing – what do you advise?,
A.
I would get a second opinion f… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
