Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a Candidate for Bone Grafting?

Most adults with bone loss in the jaw are candidates for some form of bone grafting. The primary considerations include your general health status, the extent of bone loss, and your treatment goals. Even patients with significant bone loss can often benefit from advanced grafting techniques. Certain medical conditions or medications may affect healing, so a thorough evaluation is essential to determine your specific situation and create an appropriate treatment plan.

Is Bone Grafting Painful?

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the bone grafting process is. The procedure is typically performed under IV sedation, so you’ll be asleep and comfortable throughout. Any post-operative discomfort is usually mild and manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications. Many patients report they returned to work or normal activities within a day or two with minimal disruption to their routine.v

How Long Does Bone Grafting Take to Heal?

The healing timeline varies based on the type and extent of grafting performed. Minor grafting procedures, such as socket preservation, may heal sufficiently for implant placement in 3-4 months. More extensive augmentation, like sinus lifts or major ridge reconstruction, typically requires 4-6 months or occasionally longer for complete integration. Dr. Johnson will provide a specific timeline based on your individual procedure and healing progress.
