Is a dental bone graft absolutely necessary for me? (photo)

Ive recently been told I need 2 bone grafts, 1 on the top, 1 on the bottom. The main thing is that my dentist is refusing to use synthetic material for the graft and said only human or animal will work (the thought disgusts me), I know 100% I need a graft on the bottom but I feel as if it is not necessary to do the top. I inserted an image of my X-rays, I need the grafts where my molars are missing.
