Yes. I’m Asking Your Specialized Opinion. As I Have Very

Question: Yes. I’m asking your specialized opinion. As I have very bad sinus allergies. And have been getting infections. Two times a year where I need steroids and antibiotics. And now January i started to work on my implants. Unfortunately I have put it off and then I got another failed bridge. So I need 6 implants now 3 on each side. Upper mouth. Unfortunately I started in January and one under sinus where they did bone graft got infected. My whole sinus cavity infected. He had to remove what he did. But one implant in front top of my mouth took I needed a balloon sinuplasty. I’m healed. So I went back to dentist. In XXXXXXX He started to finish the one that still was there. In front. Three teeth aeway from sinus one (which had to be undone as infection could be in bone). So all I did was have him prep that front one that is ready and take impressions so I could complete it. And two days after I now have a new sinus infection and I am back on steroids and abx. I still have it ; and I will go to ENT. however most of it seems gone. But I really want to know what do i do? Can I finally get at least that one tooth completed and have a completed implant so he can give me a nicer looking partial until I’m ready to do rest? The xrays show no infection anywhere. The dentist says it’s a coincidence that I got a new sinus infection. He’s a very good surgeon. He teaches students how to do. And he has a good practice. I’ve gone for second and third opinions they all say it’s healed and I can start work there. But still I hold off. My doctor says well I have to go with what the dentist says. But I wonder about this infection. Again. What do you think. Logically I would think I could finish a front one three teeth away from sinus. And then at least I look a little better and a partial will fit better.

Brief Answer:
Under antibiotic umbrella

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but due to the recurring sinus infection I would recommend that the dentist work is down under the umbrella of an antibiotic course. The antibiotic course should be started three days prior to starting dentist work and should be completed for 15 continuous days during which the dentist finishes his work. I hope you find this helpful.
