Osseointegration is the use of titanium implants that "bonds" with the bone to allow the use of magnets or a "bar" and clip system to hold a prosthesis in place, replacing various adhesives. It is a surgical procedure that requires several stages before a prosthesis can be fit with that form of retention.

A nose prosthesis can be held in place with either adhesive or a bone anchored system that uses either clips or magnets. Genesis can fit for any of these methods of retention.

Facial prosthetics restore not only a patients image, but can be very important to restore function as well. A nasal or ear prosthesis can enable a patient to wear glasses. Good prosthesis seeks to go unnoticed wherever possible.
