Bone Grafting
Strengthen Your Foundation. Rebuild Your Confidence with Expert Care
Bone loss in the jaw can happen quietly after tooth extraction, infection, gum disease, or trauma—leading to a weakened bite, shifting teeth, changes in facial contours, or challenges placing dental implants. If you’ve been told you lack sufficient bone for restoration or noticed a “sunken” appearance, you’re not alone. At Saxira Aesthetics & Wellness, we specialize in advanced bone grafting procedures to reGbuild jawbone volume, create a stable base for future treatments, and support long-term oral health and facial harmony.
Serving Hyattsville, Clinton, and the surrounding Maryland area, our whole-person approach integrates surgical precision with compassionate care, evidence-based techniques, and thoughtful planning—so you feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.
Unsure if bone grafting is right for you, or how it fits into your smile goals?
What Is a Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting restores lost or deficient jawbone by placing biocompatible material that encourages natural regeneration. This strengthens the jaw, preserves facial structure, and often paves the way for successful dental implants or other restorations. We tailor every procedure to your anatomy, health, and objectives.
Let’s explore common applications, the step-by-step process, recovery expectations, and why patients choose us for reliable, forward-thinking care.
Bone Grafting Treatment Areas & Applications
Socket Preservation
Performed immediately after tooth extraction to fill the socket and minimize natural bone resorption.
Helps maintain ridge height/width for easier future implant placement.
Implant Preparation (Ridge Augmentation)
Rebuilds bone in areas thinned by long-term tooth loss or resorption.
Enhances implant stability, aesthetics, and longevity.
Bone Loss from Infection, Gum Disease, or Abscess
Reconstructs areas damaged by periodontal issues or chronic infection.
Stops further deterioration and supports overall jaw integrity.
Trauma-Related Bone Loss
Addresses defects from injury, accident, or prior procedures.
Custom reconstruction to restore function and appearance.
How to Prepare & Care for Bone Grafting
Before Your Appointment
- Undergo comprehensive consultation with 3D imaging (CBCT) for precise bone assessment.
- Share full medical/dental history, medications, and lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking).
- Follow pre-op instructions, including any fasting for sedation.
After Your Appointment (Aftercare)
- Rest and limit activity for 48–72 hours; use ice to manage swelling.
- Follow prescribed medications, soft diet, and gentle oral hygiene protocols.
- Avoid smoking, straws, or vigorous rinsing to protect the graft site.
- Attend all follow-ups to monitor integration and address concerns promptly.
Benefits of Bone Grafting

- Evidence-Based & Customized – Uses proven materials/techniques for predictable outcomes.
Reserve your consultation to see how grafting supports your goals. Individual results vary based on personal health factors.
Common Myths About Bone Grafting
- Myth: Bone grafting is always major surgery with long downtime. Reality: Many procedures (like socket preservation) are minimally invasive with quick initial recovery.
- Myth: The body will reject the graft material. Reality: Modern biocompatible options integrate well; rejection is rare with proper care.
- Myth: Grafting is only for older patients. Reality: It's effective across ages when bone support is needed for implants or stability.
