What does your GP say?

I would need to see photos and x-ray images to comment.

Hi Amatus, GP wasn't sure and said to follow advice of oral surgeon I
was reffered to. My GP has an oral surgeon on site, but he does not do
grafts or implants, maybe thats why the GP really didn't comment
specifically. I'll try to find an x-ray.

Thanks,

Matt
I can't tell you how the specifics of your case relate to mine, but I
had a bone graft on the upper right where my sinuses had caused a loss
of bone somehow.

They scraped bone from my jaw bone and put it up there.
Apparently it has worked out. I still am waiting to have the crown
installed but the implants they put there (2) *seem* fine at this
point (about 10 months after implanting).

Scraping the bone was rather traumatic even though I was well numbed.
But afterwards, man, it hurt for a few days as I recall! Definitely
hurt a lot for a day or two. But such is life. It passed.

And if you need it you need it.
