Possible to Graph Bone Underneath a Bridge?

April 16, 2013
Asked By:lostindc in Washington, DC

I have been missing my number #8 tooth (sporting injury) for roughly 15 years (bridge from #7 to #9). I have been considering an implant. I was wondering if it is possible to place a bone graft without removing the bridge I have in place? This is a really nice, solid bridge and I want to retain this bridge. My goals are either to (1) have more bone in place to minimize gum recession or (2) go ahead and get ready for an implant. Thank you for your time
