Thank you for your comment. May be you know if your friend who made an implant received before bone transplant (bone grafts) for bone augmentation? My friends who installed dental implants (but who have no osteoporosis) all received before bone grafts.

I have osteoporosis and had a front tooth removed, bone graft and then implant. It takes a while for everything to heal but all went well for me. This was about 3 years ago.
Added bone( graft) but apparently didn’t take

I need to have two teeth extracted due to resorption issues and then plan to have implants. I expressed concern to my dentist about my unmedicated low bone density, and he is not worried. Said he would prefer I not be on meds prior to the procedure, and he routinely uses bovine bone implants with everyone regardless. I’m sure there are many opinions on that, and it likely differs from person to person, but I found it reassuring.
