This is not a gag!

gagging but I have patients that are so volatilely prone to gagging that I can’t even put the mouth mirror past their lips without them retching. Interesting enough, food and its chewing and swallowing does not cause gagging. When I have placed bridge work in these individuals (they’ve been sedated during these procedures) it has been readily accepted (i.e. no post-op gagging).

In your case, bridgework could be fitted to your lower jaw with implants. At the same time sinus grafting will produce more than adequate bone for future implants and bridgework to be placed in your upper jaw. All of this work can be done with intravenous sedation – a gentle procedure, not a general anesthetic, that eliminates an awareness of the procedures. If you’re not able to wear an upper denture while the graft is healing, know that it is only time before the bridgework will be placed, and your chewing and smiling return.
