Dentist said I need to see an ENT doc prior to dental implants. Why?

Question

I know that I would need bone grafts and sinus lifts to get the dental implants. Why would I need to see an ENT Specialist first?

HI:
Most likely the dentist wants to make sure the sinus are clear and it will not pose any problem in terms of sinus lift.  This is not a bad idea.
Best,
Dr. Maddahi
