Common Questions About Bone Grafts
What exactly is a bone graft?
A bone graft is a surgical procedure that adds bone material to your jaw where bone loss has occurred. It's commonly needed when there isn't enough bone density to support dental implants. Bone loss typically happens after tooth extraction, gum disease, or long-term denture wear. The graft creates a solid foundation for implants, allowing you to achieve a fully functional smile.
Is the bone grafting procedure painful?
During the bone graft procedure, your mouth will be completely numbed with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Many patients also choose sedation options to help them relax throughout the treatment. Most people report feeling pressure but not pain during the actual procedure. Any discomfort afterward can typically be managed with prescribed pain medication and usually subsides within a few days.
How long does it take to recover from a bone graft?
The initial healing from a bone graft procedure typically takes seven to 10 days, during which you'll need to follow specific care instructions. The complete integration of the graft material, however, takes approximately three to six months depending on the extent of grafting needed. During this time, your body naturally incorporates the grafting material and creates new bone. Your dentist will monitor your healing progress with follow-up appointments before proceeding to implant placement.
