Bone Grafting
Periodontal health plays a critical role in maintaining a healthy smile and overall wellness. At Shining Smiles in Marietta, Dr. Alex Mehraban provides advanced bone grafting treatment designed to help patients restore comfort, function, and confidence. Many patients experience symptoms such as bleeding gums, gum recession, sensitivity, swelling, loose teeth, or discomfort without realizing these may be signs of underlying periodontal issues. Early diagnosis and personalized treatment can help prevent more serious complications and protect your long-term oral health.
What to Expect with Bone Grafting
Our office focuses on delivering patient-centered care using modern technology and minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. We understand that periodontal concerns can feel overwhelming, especially for patients who may have delayed treatment due to anxiety or fear. That is why our team works hard to create a welcoming and judgment-free environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and learning about their treatment options.
Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation before treatment begins. Dr. Mehraban carefully examines the health of the gums, bone structure, teeth, and surrounding tissues in order to develop a customized treatment plan. No two smiles are the same, which means treatment should never follow a one-size-fits-all approach. We believe in educating patients about their oral health and helping them make informed decisions with confidence.
Why Bone Grafting Matters
One of the most important goals of bone grafting treatment is preventing future damage. Periodontal problems can progress over time if left untreated, often leading to bone loss, tooth mobility, infection, and eventually tooth loss. Beyond oral health, studies continue to show a strong relationship between periodontal disease and systemic health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Taking care of your gums is an investment in your overall health and well-being.
At Shining Smiles, we combine experience, advanced diagnostics, and compassionate care to create a positive treatment experience. Patients appreciate our attention to detail, personalized recommendations, and commitment to long-term results. We also offer comfort-focused treatment options and sedation solutions for patients who feel nervous about dental procedures.

Bone Grafting — Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often about bone grafting at Shining Smiles Periodontics in Marietta, GA. Don’t see yours? Just give us a call — we’re happy to help.
What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a periodontal procedure that rebuilds and strengthens areas of the jawbone that have been lost to gum disease, tooth loss, injury, or long-term denture wear. The graft acts as a scaffold for your body to grow new bone over time.
Why is bone grafting necessary?
When teeth are lost or affected by periodontal disease, the jawbone in that area often shrinks. Bone grafting restores the height and width of the jawbone so dental implants can be placed securely, neighboring teeth are better supported, and your facial structure is preserved.
Is bone grafting painful?
Bone grafting is performed with local anesthesia, and sedation options are available. Most patients report only mild discomfort during recovery, and any soreness is usually well managed with the instructions Dr. Mehraban provides.
How long does bone grafting take to heal?
Initial healing of the gum tissue typically takes one to two weeks. Full integration of the graft with your natural bone usually takes several months, after which the area is strong enough to support dental implants or other restorative work.
Can dental implants be placed at the same time as bone grafting?
In some cases, a smaller bone graft and an implant can be placed during the same visit. In other cases, the graft is allowed to heal first and the implant is placed later. Dr. Mehraban uses advanced diagnostics to determine the safest, most predictable plan for your specific situation.
What materials are used for bone grafts?
Several safe and well-studied graft materials are available, including your own bone, donor bone, and biocompatible synthetic materials. Dr. Mehraban will discuss the options with you and recommend the best choice for your treatment goals and overall health.
