I have had the bone graft and three implants!. Its a long process but well worth it!.
The bone graft process is done then you have to wait while the graft grows and fuses to the rest of the bone!. This usually takes about 6-8 months!. You will need to make a few trips back to the specialist during this time to have it periodically checked!.
Once the bone has fused a titanium screw is inserted into the bone (doesn't hurt and takes a few minutes)!. Then you wait another 6 months minimum for the screw to integrate with the bone!. They also put a healing cover over the screw!.
After that the crown is put on and your teeth are just like you're own only better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have lava crowns on them (zirconia and porcelain), and they look much better than the original ones and the gums look stunning and very healthy ;)
As long as you keep your teeth in and don't pull them out you probably won't need a bone graft (I didn't)!.
I paid around $1200 per implant plus $1200 per crown!.
Consider that you will have to fork out the money for the implants first and pay the crowns 4-9 months later (when they'll be put on)!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
