This Friday (July 12) I am having the titanium implants placed in my newly grafted (March 20) bone. The graft site in my mouth has never really totally closed and still has exposed bone, but does not cause me any pain. When they open up the tissue they will be able to determine if they can put 2 or 3 posts in. I lost three teeth in my original cancer surgery, but since some of the bone graft did not take, I may end up with 2 implants rather than 3. I'm looking forward to getting the exposed bone covered with tissue again. I'll update next week on how it went!
