Q.
My dentist has referred me to a surgeon for dental implants. As I have several teeth missing there is not enough bone and this will need to be increased. My dentist has said that this can be done under local anaesthetic with a synthetic material but my consultant wants to remove bone from my hip under a general anaesthetic. The first option is obviously more appealing to me. I would be grateful for your opinion.
