Lost two teeth 44 years ago: Can I get implants without a bone graft?
Last Updated: Nov 29, 2015
I lost 2 upper molars when I was 21. ( I am now 65. ) Since then I have worn a partial. I have been considering getting implants, but I understand bone reabsorbs and I would be afraid to get a bone graft. Before I spend any money on this I would like to know what the odds are that I could get implants without first having a bone graft.
