A member asked:
I have (or had) a bad tooth that wasn't extracted for years now. would i need a bone graft on the spot in order to apply a partial denture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: We like to do bone grafting to preserve as much as we can the normal bone architecture... But we can make a prosthesis even though no bone was added
