Common Questions About Bone Grafts
How long will I need to heal after a bone graft?
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. The complete healing process, where your jaw fully integrates the grafting material, typically takes three to six months. During this time, we'll monitor your progress with regular checkups. Your comfort and healing timeline may vary based on your specific procedure.
Can I get my implants immediately after bone grafting?
Your jaw needs time to strengthen after grafting. We typically wait several months before placing implants to ensure the best long-term results. During healing, we'll track your progress and let you know when you're ready for the next step.
How do I know if I need a bone graft?
During your consultation, we'll take detailed images of your jaw. These scans show your current bone density and help us determine if grafting is necessary. Many patients who've had missing teeth for a while need grafting to support implants successfully.
