Bone Grafting Treatment

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting treatment for receding gums works best for patients who are suffering from more extensive gum loss where gum disease cannot be resolved by a professional cleaning alone. This procedure can help repair the damaged area of the gums and work to prevent further gum tissue loss. In addition to stopping recession, bone graft treatment will better protect the roots of the teeth from decay by giving the patient more gum line, and reduce tooth sensitivity to hot and cold foods.

Bone Grafting Options

Types of Bone Grafting We Perform

Bone grafting can rebuild lost bone, strengthen the jaw, and create the foundation needed for successful dental implant treatment.

Socket Preservation

A bone graft placed immediately after tooth extraction to help maintain jawbone volume and prepare the site for a future implant.

Ridge Augmentation

Rebuilds the width or height of the jawbone in areas where bone loss has occurred, creating support for implants.

Sinus Lift

Adds bone beneath the sinus floor in the upper jaw, increasing bone height and making implant placement possible.

Grafting with Implants

In select cases, minor bone grafting can be performed during implant placement to reduce overall treatment time.

Orthodontic Preparation

Removing selected teeth can create the space needed for successful orthodontic treatment and proper tooth alignment.

Failed Previous Treatment

Extraction may be recommended when a root canal has failed or a tooth can no longer support a crown or restoration.

Understanding Bone Grafts

What Is Bone Graft Material Made Of?

Depending on your case, grafting material may be your own bone (autograft), sterile processed donor bone (allograft), animal-derived mineral (xenograft), or a synthetic bone substitute (alloplast). All materials used are rigorously processed and safe, and Dr. Souri will explain the best option for your situation at your consultation.

Who May Benefit from Grafting?

You may need grafting if you've been told you 'don't have enough bone' for implants, if a tooth has been missing for years, if you've worn dentures long-term, or if bone was lost to gum disease, infection, or injury. Don't assume implants are out of reach — grafting makes implants possible for the vast majority of patients we see at our Glen Burnie office.

Recovery & Healing

What to Expect After Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a predictable procedure with a straightforward recovery. Here's what most patients can expect before, during, and after treatment.

In-Office Procedure

Most bone grafts are completed in our office under local anesthesia, with IV sedation available for additional comfort.

Quick Recovery

Mild swelling and soreness are common for a few days and can usually be managed with medication and a soft-food diet.

Bone Regeneration

The graft gradually becomes part of your natural jawbone, creating long-term strength and stability.

Ready for Implants

Once healing is complete, imaging confirms the area is ready for dental implant placement.

Simple Process We Follow

The Bone Grafting Process

Bone grafting is a carefully planned procedure designed to rebuild lost bone and create a strong foundation for future dental treatment.

01

Consultation & 3D Imaging

We evaluate your jawbone using digital imaging to determine the extent of bone loss and the most effective grafting approach.

02

Bone Graft Placement

The grafting material is precisely placed in the treatment area to rebuild bone volume and support future restoration.

03

Bone Integration

Over the following months, the graft integrates with your natural bone and gradually creates a stronger jaw structure.

04

Dental Implant Placement

Once healing is complete, we confirm bone readiness and move forward with dental implant treatment when appropriate.

Makenna C.

I had an amazing experience with Glen Burnie Oral Surgery. Destinee was absolutely wonderful and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, and the nurses were so kind and comforting. Dr. Souri was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and he did a great job explaining the procedure so I knew exactly what to expect both before and after surgery. I truly cannot say enough good things about this facility—from the receptionist to the nurses and assistants to the doctor, everyone is exceptional at what they do.

Christine MacDonald

2 weeks before my scheduled torsi removal I was seriously anxious, scared, freaking out. Procedure day came and I arrived on time. I was taken back a bit late which made my anxiety worse. I got through the procedure and anticipated a lot of pain afterward. That, however, did not happen. The pain was minimal and I had no swelling whatsoever. Almost a week later I was able to eat more solid foods without a problem. All in all it was one of the best procedures I've ever had to go through in my life.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Souri and his entire staff during my wisdom teeth removal. From the moment I walked in, everyone made me feel comfortable and at ease. The whole process was clearly explained and handled with such care and professionalism. Dr. Souri is not only incredibly skilled but also kind and patient, which made a big difference for me. The staff was equally fantastic, always checking in and making sure I was okay before and after the procedure. I am truly grateful for how smooth everything went and how well I was taken care of. Thank you to Dr. Souri and the entire team for making what I expected to be a stressful experience feel easy and reassuring.

Darlene Alvalle

I had an outstanding experience at Dr. Souri’s oral surgery office. From start to finish, the entire team was welcoming, compassionate, and exceptionally professional. The staff before, during, and after the procedure made me feel completely at ease with their friendly and attentive approach. Dr. Souri himself was remarkable, thoroughly informative, incredibly detail-oriented, and genuinely attentive to my comfort throughout the process. Anytime I mentioned even the slightest discomfort, he responded with care and reassurance. I especially appreciated that my husband was allowed to accompany me during the setup and monitoring, which added a personal touch that meant a lot. Post-surgery, the surgical staff remained just as kind and engaging, checking in and making sure I was comfortable and well-informed about the recovery process. I wouldn’t hesitate to return here for any future oral surgery needs. Highly recommend!

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to some of the most common questions about oral surgery procedures, consultations, recovery, and patient care.

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. The area is fully numbed during the procedure, and afterward discomfort is typically mild — similar to or less than a tooth extraction — and controlled with over-the-counter medication for a few days.

Small grafts, such as socket preservation, are often ready in about 3–4 months. Larger ridge augmentations or sinus lifts may need 6–9 months before the bone is strong enough for implant placement.

Options include your own bone, carefully processed and sterilized donor bone, animal-derived bone mineral, or synthetic material. All are safe and well proven; your surgeon will recommend the right one for your case.

Sometimes, yes. When the defect is small and the implant can still be placed with good stability, grafting and implant placement are combined into a single visit. Larger defects need to heal first.

Cost depends on the type and size of the graft — socket preservation is the most economical, while sinus lifts are more involved. You'll receive an exact quote at your consultation, and our team will check your insurance benefits. [VERIFY: add practice fee ranges if desired]

Without adequate bone, an implant may not be possible or may be more likely to fail. Bone loss also continues over time, making future treatment more complex. Grafting at the right time keeps your options open and your treatment simpler.
