If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for a dental implant, a dental bone graft can rebuild volume and strength so your smile becomes implant-ready. At Magis Dental, we use modern imaging and precise techniques to help the graft integrate predictably—so you can move forward with confidence.

What Is a Dental Bone Graft?
A bone graft adds bone (or bone-like material) to areas of the jaw that have thinned after tooth loss, gum disease, or long-term denture wear. The graft material acts as a scaffold while your body regenerates new bone. Once healed, the site has the density needed for reliable implant placement.
When Do We Recommend Grafting?
Common scenarios include: preserving a socket after an extraction, reinforcing thin ridges before implants, and stabilizing areas affected by gum disease. Every case is planned with 3D imaging to determine the exact amount and location of grafting needed.
Benefits Of Bone Grafting
- Stronger foundation – Improves implant success and long-term stability.
- Preserves your profile – Helps prevent the “sunken” look after tooth loss.
- Predictable healing – Modern materials integrate naturally with your own bone.
How the Process Works
We numb the area for comfort, place the graft material, and cover it with a protective membrane. Over several months, your body replaces the graft with your own bone. We’ll monitor healing and schedule your implant when the site reaches the right density.
1. Increased bone health – Increases bone volume for secure implants
2. More Stable Chewing – Stabilizes the jaw after extractions
3. Maintains Facial Features – Helps maintain natural facial contours
