Will 2nd Bone Graft Take?

September 25, 2012
Asked By:Rose Canton in Canton, Michigan

I lost a front tooth 6 months ago X-ray showed absolutely nothing below the gum line just a dark triangle - no root. Probably due to a bike vs car bumper accident 50 some years ago.. I had braces on all my teeth at that time. I had the extraction and a bone graft, and the graft failed to take. I am a week out from a 2nd attempt. Is it worth the discomfort, or should I just go get a bridge? Everyone tells me to try for the implant, but I cannot go through this again.
