Q.
I had a really bad dentist 10 years ago who root canaled nearly all my bottom teeth then had them extracted..i didn\’t know any better at the time. Now l only have 5 bottom teeth (the front ones). I am 36 years old and have basically no bottom gum and my face is appearing really withdrawn rom the lack of support. I understand the danger of having implants because of the nerve positioning of the bottom jaw. But is there anything l can do to rebuild the gum…would a bone graft risk damage to the nerve? Thanks ,
