Is there any way I can get implants without the need for a bone graft?

Q. my dentist has mentioned that i need a bone graft but i am very, very fearful of this surgery. Is there ANY other way i can receive an implant without the need for a graft or is there any alternative material that can be used to replace the lost bone?,
A. Thanks for your question. It\’s difficult to say if there is any way for any implant to be placed without seeing the diagnostic imaging. The location in the mouth will also have an effect on the appropriate treatment planning. You haven\’t said what the dentist has proposed for the bone graft, but there are a number of techniques and materials that can be used. Discuss your concerns with your dentist and I\’m sure they will be happy to go over any other options with you. Regards George Glover BDS MSc
