What is dental bone grafting?
A dental bone graft is a procedure used to enhance or rebuild the bone structure in the jaw, which is essential for supporting teeth. This process involves placing a material that your body can convert into bone, improving the strength and volume of the jawbone. This procedure is often necessary before getting dental implants to ensure there is sufficient bone to support them.

Are dental bone grafts painful?
While a bone graft may sound daunting, the procedure is generally not painful. At Boggs Dentistry, we use local anesthesia to numb the area thoroughly, ensuring you feel no pain during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications. Our team is dedicated to making your experience as comfortable as possible.

How long does it take to recover from a dental bone graft?
Recovery time after a dental bone graft can vary depending on the individual case and the extent of the procedure. Generally, patients can return to their normal daily activities within a few days. However, the bone graft will need time to fuse with the natural bones in your jaw, which can take several months. Throughout your recovery, we will monitor your progress and guide you on how to best care for your oral health to ensure the best outcome.
