Getting implant, bone graft or not?

Hi everyone,

I met with two oral surgeons recently to discuss implants. One
recommended a bone graft (human cadaver source) at the same time as
the extraction (of #19), the other felt grafting wasn't necessary.

Any advice as to decide on which one to go with? I suppose I could
get a third opinion but the consults are $90 a pop!

Thank you,

Matt
