Recommended: The socket bone grafting for upper front teeth prior to dental implants are critical in establishing the right amount of bone so your front teeth looks great after the final implant restoration.

Sure: If you plan on replacing those missing teeth with a solid, proven, long lasting restoration like dental implants with porcelain crowns, then the graft is almost a must. Snap on smiles are made of plastic and will not last very long without replacement. See below complaints: http://snap-on-smile.pissedconsumer.com/
