Sometimes they do both.
In cases like yours, it is very normal for that second molar to be sensitive/tender to chewing. The tooth is not being supported properly in the bone which hopefully will get better on it's own or after you have the graft done. Does that tooth have a large filling or crown?

No, that tooth has not had work. Looks pretty good too if it was tender and sensitive!
He did mention grafting, I think he even might have said bone in addition to tissue. But I'm not sure, I guess I'll find out next week.
Whose bone are talking about? Lol
Does he transfer my bone and tissue? Where does he take it from?
