FAQs
What is bone grafting and why might I need it?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds bone material to areas of the jaw where bone loss has occurred. It’s often needed before placing dental implants to ensure there is enough bone to support them securely.
Is bone grafting painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. We use local anesthesia and provide pain management options to keep you comfortable throughout your recovery.
How long does it take to heal after bone grafting?
Healing times vary but typically range from three to six months, depending on the extent of the graft and your body’s healing response. This period allows the new bone to integrate fully with your existing jawbone.
Are there different types of bone grafts?
Yes, bone grafts can come from your own body (autografts), donor bone (allografts), synthetic materials, or animal sources (xenografts). We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
Can I get dental implants immediately after bone grafting?
In most cases, dental implants are placed after the graft has fully healed to ensure stability. However, some situations may allow for simultaneous grafting and implant placement. Your dentist at Crenshaw & Slauson Family Dentistry will evaluate what’s best for you.
