Hi, I have a bridge that needs to be taken out because one of the anchor teeth keeps getting infected. I want to have all the 4 missigng teeth replaced with inplants not another bridge.
These are upper teeth and I have been told I may need bone grafts but I do not want foreign bone in my body or to harvest my own bone.
Last week I read online that there is a possibility of using plastic instead & my own bone would grow around it, I think it is called isoplastic but cannot find the website now.
Can anyone tell me how widespread it is to use this, whether this has been used enough years to show that it is just a s good a procedure as using bone & where in Charlottesville or Richmond VA I could get this done. The dental surgery I was sent to by my dentist only uses bone as a graft material.
Thanks
Chrissy
