What Is Bone Grafting Surgery?
Bone grafting surgery is a procedure that restores or rebuilds bone in areas where it has been lost due to gum disease, tooth loss, or injury. At Western Mass Perio Group, this treatment helps strengthen and stabilize the jawbone to support overall oral health and maintain the natural structure of the face. Bone grafting surgery not only restores strength and function but also helps prevent future bone deterioration and promotes long-term oral wellness.

How Is Bone Grafting Surgery Performed?
Bone grafting surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation for comfort and typically takes about 1 – 2 hours, depending on the size and location of the graft. During the procedure, your periodontist makes a small incision in the gum to expose the affected area, cleans the site thoroughly, and places the bone graft material, which is made from either natural bone, donor bone, or a synthetic substitute, into the area of bone loss. A protective membrane may then be placed over the graft to promote healing and prevent infection before the gums are sutured closed. Over the next several months, the grafted material fuses with the natural bone, rebuilding strength, stability, and structure in the jaw.
What Are the Benefits of Bone Grafting Surgery?
Bone grafting surgery strengthens and restores the jawbone, improving oral health, function, and facial structure. Benefits include:
- Rebuilds lost or weakened bone tissue
- Restores strength and stability to the jaw
- Prevents further bone deterioration
- Maintains natural facial shape and appearance
- Improves overall oral health and function
- Creates a healthy foundation for long-term dental stability
Western Mass Perio Group Reviews
"Went to Nobel Perio regarding a previous implant process that was totally unsatisfactory. This office is the elite of implant specialists!! Although it was a painful process, I couldn't be happier with my "corrected" implant! Very highly recommend!"
"The staff at Nobel Perio are wonderful. I was escorted to an exam room at my appointment time. Jennifer was very professional and explained the procedures to me. She created a treatment plan that we both agreed to. The office staff are great to work with. I am looking forward to continuing with my treatment at Nobel Perio."
"All are very friendly and helpful at this office!! I had many questions that were all answered and my worries lessened. My mom came with me and she said she’s never been to a more friendlier office as she was asked multiple times if she needed anything as a coffee or water. The doctor is wonderful and did an amazing job for my gum surgery. Thank you."
"Always feel so welcomed and everyone is so friendly! Dr Schmidt is knowledgeable and makes me feel comfortable! So happy I go there."
"Amazing, was taken as a new patient quickly, thankfully because I had an infection that needed to be remediated. After my consultation I was scheduled for surgery within a couple of weeks. Very professional care by Dr Salzman and staff. I highly recommend if you need work done!"
