Yeah, so what if you're like me and you've had a tooth pulled and replaced with an implant? There's a titanium drywall anchor embedded in my skull with a fake tooth bolted to it. What happens if I take this drug? Does it push the bone graft out?

Yeah, I’m in the same boat with a couple of teeth. I really wanna know what would happen in that case, lol.

Perhaps they would have to remove any dental implants before proceeding with the therapy.
