What is a Alveoplasty, Bone Grafts and what in the world is a Prefabricated Abutement?
 
An alveoplasty is a surgical procedure used to smooth and reshape a patient's jawbone in areas where teeth have been extracted or otherwise lost.
A bone graft is something put in to augment or replace missing bone.
A prefabricated abutment is a bit of machined metal that fits into an implant.

I assume you're having some implant work done?

Hi Gordon. I sure am on May 24th. 14 Days from Today. I am have 26 teeth extracted. Top regular denture put in. 2 Alveoplastys, Bone Graft. Prefabricated Abutement and Snap In Denture placed. Regular implants not the mini implants. 4 Implants. WOWZERS. All this in one day time.
 
The dentist said I have strong bone.
 
Good luck with it all, post back here to let us know how it goes.

Ok Thank You Gordon. The Dentist said I could save My front 6 teeth but in the end they would come out in the end so I told Him to extract them all. I will keep Y'all updated for sure on My journey. It all begins on May 24th.
