Can I get a bone graft without getting implants?

Asked By:TheWorriedOne2 in Fort Collins, CO

I have a pocket of bone loss that is between my front teeth. I was told I could "look into" getting a graft at some point but I would like to get it done asap. Im afraid if i wait to long, I will lose my front teeth. I already have periodontal disease and I know theres no "getting better". Can I get a bone graft without getting dental implants? Also, which type of doctor should I be seeing for this and could it be considered medically necessary?
