Will I still have enough bone for a Dental Implant?

by John
(San antonio, texas)

I am currently 17 years old, with a missing upper front left tooth. I had an accident with a wet floor and cracked it when I was in eighth grade, and had it extracted.

I haven't been able to get a dental implant for it due to the lack of money in our family. Now I'm a senior in high school and was wondering if I might still have enough bone in the area to be a candidate for dental implants. What are the chances that I might still have enough bone?

Any information on approximate price ranges for this procedure, with and without bone grafting, would definitely help!

Bone augmentation needed

John;

you should see a dentist for your case, but what I can tell you is that there is always the option for bone augmentation. This means that if you don't have enough bone they can put bone substitude and place the dental implant.
The bone substitude will help grow new bone.
I hope this helps.
