Q. Dear Dr Solanki I currently wear dentures but for the last few years have been finding them very uncomfortable and painful and often eat on one side. For some time I have been contemplating dental implants but have discovered from another dentist that my gums are currently too thin to support this and a bone graft would be a certainty if I went ahead. Apparently a bone graft can come from the shin bone but in recent years am finding that my body takes some time to heal and am anxious at the thought of using my own bone for the bone graft and for the medium term at least will probably be doing my body and mobility more harm than good. What other options do I have? Kind regards,
