Bone Grafting Material

• The best choice for bone grafting material comes
  from you. The dentist near me may take bone from
  your ramus or chin. However, if bone from these
  areas close to your mouth cannot be sufficiently
  extracted, your dentist may pursue bone
  extraction from your shin or hip.
• Because it supplies the largest amount of bone,
  the hip is always considered a better bone
  grafting resource. However, hip bone extraction
  also requires general anesthesia and a lengthy
  hospital stay.
