leesal,

The other areas where the teeth were extracted 20 years ago have already developed irreplaceable bone loss. So I am puzzled as to why your dentist put bone graft in those areas. The likelihood of that graft integrating with your jaw bone in those areas is very unlikely. Did he inform you of this?

You mentioned implants in your original post... did you have implants placed in your jaw? If so, where and when?

Bone grafting was done in that entire area.

Thanks Bryanna.
