Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The bone grafting is a constructive procedure, and can have a bone developed naturally, may be a better choice.
Laser surgery is a scraping surgery, though we know less of it, i think, it may relapse after some time.
Any how your surgeon will be the correct judge,to decide the procedure suits your condition.
Your surgeon may prescribe you injections of vitamin B1,6, and 12 for 10 consecutive days till the procedure is decided.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
