Failed root canals happen all the time for me. It's one of the more common replacement procedures that I do. Great presentation.

how much was this procedure?

[perieau]

@tsosy2009 extraction and bone grafting can be in the $900 range. Implant surgery can be from $2000-2500. Then a crown has to be done by a restorative dentist. This can run around $2000.  Other parts of the country may be more and can also be less.

How much time you wait to put the implant?

[perieau]

@galvezalfonso 3-4 months

Why you put that membrane stuff in after extract? Why can't just put bone graft stuff into the extraction hole without that membrane thing..?

sorry I am noob at this topic. Thanks.

I have two implants, one of which has experienced loss of bone above the implant site. I would like to have this issue addressed, although the implant is functional. I have been told grafting around an implant is not an option; does this mean I need to have the implant extracted, the bone (and maybe the gum) augmented, a new implant post placed, and a new crown made? Thanks you.
