After extraction and bone grafting, what could happen to the grafting site if I don't go through with dental implants?

Ducky72
If perhaps for financial reasons I change my mind and do not end up receiving the two, planned dental implants, what is likely to occur in the jawbone area where the socket was filled in? What if I get partial dentures instead, or just don't do anything at all. I need an awful lot of expensive work and might decide to cut costs somewhere; spread it around differently.
