Can bone grafting after teeth extraction be redone if it didn't work?

Question

I have periodontal disease and have had bone grafting and several implants done I had a tooth in the front extracted due to infection then grafted and found out it didn't work

Hi and Thank you for your question. Areas of failing bone grafts and implants can certainly be treated again. If there are other failing teeth next to the area to be treated ,these could certainly cause the problem you have been having with the failing bone grafts. Re-evaluate the areas and remove teeth that have a poor prognosis. Make sure areas are free of any kind of infection then treat accordingly, If biologics are  available (PRGF,PRP)at your surgeons office, use this with the bone grafts to increase the prognosis of the treatment.
Good Luck,

Hi:Good question.  In the absence of infection, you can re bone graft the same area.  Best,Dr. Maddahi

Hello, many things can intervene into that graft not working, this doesnt mean it can not be done. The best plan is to first make sure with your periodoncist that you are controlled in that area, no active infections, etc. Then, do try again. Hope this helps, good luck
