Save Teeth? I have been advised by my new dentist that I need many implants due to bone loss. I will also need bone transplant. Is there nothing that can be done before I agree to have teeth out as your 'Bioplant' makes me believe that if I can hold on to my teeth, maybe the bone, with help, could regenerate and I could keep my teeth? Am I just clutching at straws? I have no pain, just bad pockets and some loose teeth. I can go to a hygenist regularily and will do anything possible not to have them out! ...Visitor from Israel (answer)
When to start graft? My mom recently had 1 tooth extracted and a bridge removed. She would like to have implants done for the 2 missing teeth. She will need bone graft due to loss of bone. The oral surgeon that did the extraction told her to wait 2 months for the wound to heal before doing bone graft, then wait again before the implants could be done. The 2nd implant specialist we saw said that bone graft should have been placed right after the extraction. Since it was not done right away, my mom needs to wait 4 weeks after the extraction and he could do bone graft with the implant. Who is right? Can the graft and implant be done at the same time without knowing if the graft worked? ...Visitor from CA (answer)
I had a tooth extracted two days ago and the membrane that was put in over the graft slowly oozed out of the hole where my tooth was. It just came completely out so now there is just a hole and some stitches. Do I need to be concerned or call my dentist? When I called yesterday to ask they said that the soft tissue would absorb into my gums to stimulate bone growth. ...Visitor from TX (answer)
It has been a month now since my surgery. I had bone grafting done on my upper and lower teeth on one side of my mouth. The pain is still so bad that I cannot function unless I have at least 600-800 mgs every 4 hrs of ibuprofen. When will this pain stop? I have been on antibiotics for 3 weeks also. This pain is in the teeth that had the bone grafts and the pain shoots up the side of my face. Do I need to see another dentist about this or will it go away soon? ...Visitor from TN (answer)
Is it too risky for a person with diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoporosis to go through the process of the bone graft surgery after the dentist has taken out the molar? ... Visitor from CA (answer)
I had bone grafting for 3 implants done on the upper right jaw about 10 years ago. After the implants were placed (over a year later) within 6 to 8 months all 3 implants failed. The dentist who did this was considered an expert in implants. Does this mean I am not a candidate for implants? I do have other bone loss and my general dentist suggests this may be genetic? How much have things changed in 10 years? ... Visitor from CO (answer)
