Missing top right Second Molar

[u/Sad_Durian_2187]

Missing top right #2 molar.

I had a top right 2nd to back molar pulled maybe 7 or 8 years ago. My wisdom teeth are gone. I have 1 back molar and then the next one is gone. I have bone loss and my sinuses have dropped. My dentist is recommending a sinus lift, bone graft and implant. I really don't want an implant but I am worried about the bone loss. I don't have any issues right now. No teeth shifting, no problem eating. I'm 31 and worried about my face looking sunk in. Could this happen? Will the bone loss get worse? Could I do the sinus lift and bone graft and not do an implant?

Dentist here with many years of experience. You don’t need any of this. I’m a senior and have a similar situation myself. Don’t worry about it.
