Implants are normally titanium screws placed into your own bone tissue. The bone grows around the screw and it becomes integrated into your jaw.
In some patients, there is not enough bone tissue to support the implant. In those cases, a bone graft using bone tissue from your own body is used to enhance the area.

BONE GRAFTING USING BONE MATERIAL CAN BE EITHER SYNTHETIC (HYDROXYAPATITE) OR FROM STERILIZED CADAVER BONE.
