Molar Extraction: Do I Need a Bone Graft if I Don’t Plan to Get a Dental Implant?
Last Updated: Nov 10, 2015
I am having a molar extracted. The very last tooth on the top. I am being told to have a bone graft as well to preserve the ridge. The bone graft is quite expensive. I really doubt that I will ever be getting a dental implant. So is the bone graft something that I really need to have done? What are the risks if I don’t get the bone graft?
