Bicon short implants

I went to my oral surgeon yesterday to get a consultation for an implant and he recommended something called a Bicon short implant instead of a sinus lift and regular dental implant. He said that I don't have enough bone above my tooth to hold a regular implant so a sinus lift is needed - or we can use the bicon short implants instead. Has anyone ever heard of these or have had any experience with these? Do they hold as well as a regular implant?
Thanks C.

Bicon Short Implants
by: Dr. Lee

Bicon has a unique "plateau" feature, which is specifically designed for the use of short implants. It has a unique bacterially-sealed, locking taper, implant to abutment connection, which provides for 360° of universal abutment positioning — offering restorative flexibility.

The sloping shoulder of the Bicon implant provides for gingivally aesthetic restorations, because the bone that is maintained over the shoulder of the implant provides support for the gingival growth between the teeth.

Dr. Lee,
I hope the guy understand the dental jargon of sloping shoulders, 360 degree abutment placement, and gingival growth, but I fear it may be over his head a bit...
