Ive recently been told I need 2 bone grafts, 1 on the top, 1 on the bottom. The main thing is that my dentist is refusing to use synthetic material for the graft and said only human or animal will work (the thought disgusts me), I know 100% I need a graft on the bottom but I feel as if it is not necessary to do the top. I inserted an image of my X-rays, I need the grafts where my molars are missing.

Answer: Bone grafting Lucidfetus If you are planning on having an implant on upper left and lower right, then you definitely need bone grafting prior to implant placement. There don't seem to be adequate amount of bone for an implant to be placed.

Answer: ANY DEFECT IS A PROBLEM I see teeth out of alignment, partial bite collapse in addition to your missing teeth. Although I do not have all the information I would like to answer your question. Once the alignment of your teeth is addressed or eliminated as a long term problem, besides replacing your lost teeth with implants, you also have the option of fixed bridgework to replace these teeth. If you have questions about different alternatives and the long term health of your mouth and teeth, I would get the opinion of a good general dentist who emphasizes preventive dentistry and who restores missing teeth with both fixed bridgework and implants without prejudice to which is best before he sees you and knows all the details.
