Default 2 Bone Graphing infections

During the last 3 years I have been in the process of replacing my entire upper jaw with dental implants. All have had root canals over the years as I am 50 yrs old now.This was to be done in 3 sections. I started with the upper front 6 teeth and had no problems. Then I had the upper right done where the oral surgeon took out the teeth and put in the bone graphing while doing a sinus lift. All went well as did the implants months later.
Back in November I had the final left quadrant done. Just a few days past surgery I developed a severe infection where he had to remove the graphing and clean the area. I waited 8 months to do again. June 24th I had the sinus lift and bone graphing done again. It took 2 weeks to form another infection. This time there is no throbbing pain but nasty odors and puss coming out the nose. I stayed on Keflex which he started me on 2 days prior to surgery. After a week and still puss he switched me to Amoxicillin and Clavulanate 1000mg/62.5
He thinks that I will probably have to remove everything again.
Any idea why an infection could happen twice when I had done these procedures before with no problems? I am nervous about a 3rd try at it.
Thanks, Sandy
