Just had my no. 15 tooth extracted two days ago due to movement (2mm) and bone loss. My periodontitis seems reluctant to do implant citing lower success rate and loose bone at the region. My question: do I have adequate bone to do implant without sinus lifting? Could basal implant be an option? The attached x-ray was taken one week ago, and my 1 and 16 wisdom teeth were also extracted last week after the x-ray.
