Hi again,
I am just wondering if anyone has had a dental sinus lift (elevation) and bone graft, I had this last Wednesday and obviously with the above conditions and on steroids was wondering if these are detrimental to the success re implants. I have to wait 6 months now to see if it is successful. I am very swollen and bruised, only to be expected. The stitches are still in at present. Just wondered if there are any successes with this procedure.
I hope you are al doing ok at the moment.

Thank you, it's my upper jaw and only doubled the day of bone graft and sinus lift. I have 3 stages too, and will be 10 months 2weeks, so will have to be patient, but the part that worries me is that I won't know if successful re bone graft until the posts go in in 6 months.

Oh Adette that was my biggest fear that the bone graft wouldn't take but it did and my Implantologist was concerned about bleeds (he didn't say it but I knew). I think all in all it was about 1 year for everything to be completed and he was delighted with the health of my gums and everything went well. I hope that is reassuring for you.

Thank you sooo much, yes it does, I'm probably a worrier, keep having pains on other areas in the mouth, hope I don't start with problems elsewhere.

Honestly I don't think you will have any problems. You realise that your mouth has gone through a trauma so you may feel a twitch here and there and I think that is normal. Having said that I am NOT a medical person. My implantologist suggested at some stage to get my upper teeth or what's left of them lol ( a few crowns here and there) but to have the same procedure done and maybe I will sometime (it is expensive). Adette I would get it done in a heartbeat. I do think you will be ok but if you feel strange pains or whatever don't be afraid to lift the phone and get in touch with your Dentist. He/she will only be too glad to reassure you. Keep me in the loop as time goes on.
