Recovery time typically ranges from 2 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the graft and the amount of bone needed.
Bone grafting is typically performed under local anesthesia, and discomfort is generally minimal during the recovery period.
Bone grafts can be made from various materials, including your own bone (autograft), donor bone (allograft), synthetic bone, or materials that encourage bone growth. Your oral surgeon will recommend the best option for you.
Recovery time varies depending on the type and extent of the bone graft, but generally, it takes about 2 to 6 months for the graft to fully heal and integrate with your natural bone before proceeding with dental implants.
The procedure usually takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity and the amount of graft material needed. It is performed under local anesthesia or sedation for your comfort.
Most patients can return to work in a few days, depending on the level of discomfort. Resting and following post-operative care instructions are essential for optimal healing.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, graft rejection, or failure to integrate with the jawbone. However, these risks are rare, and your oral surgeon will take steps to ensure the best possible outcome.
