Common Questions
Bone Grafting FAQ
How long does a bone graft take to heal before implant placement?
Bone grafts typically require three to six months to integrate fully before an implant can be placed. Your dentist will monitor healing with X-rays before proceeding.
Is bone grafting painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is generally well tolerated. Post-operative discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and resolves within one to two weeks.
What types of graft material are used?
We use biocompatible materials including synthetic bone substitutes and processed donor bone. All materials are thoroughly tested and approved for safety.
