What is the material that is used for grafting? how does dentist know it is ready and safe?

Q. What is the material that is used for grafting? How long do I have to wait with the titaniume inplanted before the dentist know that it is fused well with the jow and the graftinf material? How does he know that it is ready and safe for the final procedure? Thank you very much in advance.

A. Hello, It is possible to use either your own bone taken from another site in the mouth or the biomaterial of your surgeons choice. He will be able to tell using x-rays and clinical experience when it is the right time to place the titanium implant
