the big question

So I'm still trying to find the answer to my question: if my upper teeth are sound (no new cavities, just a couple of existing fillings, which would need to be replaced), and I have extensive bone loss, and implants need bone, and there are bone graft or regeneration procedures, then why wouldn't I be a candidate for bone regeneration without removal of the natural teeth?

I know I'm missing something here. Anyway, I found this ask-a-dentist site, and posed my question there. I've bookmarked it and we'll see if there's any answer. The site is kinda interesting in any case - go to the FAQs section to see all the kinds of questions people are asking.
