Is it standard to undergo a vertical sinus lift and implant on the same day?

deebee11432
I had a consultation with a dentist who suggests I have a vertical sinus lift followed by an implant on the same day at 14. He also wants to remove 17; he said it's not needed. I thought it is standard to heal from the sinus lift, which usually takes up to six months, before inserting the implant. He also said he doesn't need to see the panoramic x-ray that I had previously, is this also standard?
