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?
There can be several reasons our dentist may recommend placing a bone graft prior to setting your dental implant. The most common scenarios include: preserving a socket after an extraction, reinforcing thin ridges before implants, and stabilizing areas affected by gum disease. Every one of our cases is planned with 3D imaging to determine the exact depth, amount, and location of grafting needed. We know the processs can seem daunting but rest assured you are in good hands; our dentist have received additonal training and certifications that make them experts with grafting and setting implants.
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 begin by numbing the local area for comfort, placing the graft material, and covering it with a protective membrane. Over several months, as you heal your body replaces the graft with your own bone creating the perfect foundation for the placement of the implant. We will continue to monitor healing and then 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
4. Fully Custom To Your Anatomy – Customized to your anatomy via 3D imaging
5. Long Term Functionality – Sets you up for long-term function
1. Exam & 3D scan: Evaluate bone density and plan graft.
2. Graft placement: Comfortable local anesthesia; graft + membrane.
