What is a dental bone graft?
A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure that aims to rebuild or repair bones through the transplantation of bone tissue. By adding to the existing bone, this process encourages the growth of new bone, providing the necessary support for dental implants and enhancing the jaw’s structure and health.
This procedure is typically recommended for patients who have lost bone density due to periodontal disease, injury, or tooth loss, ensuring they can pursue further dental restorations with confidence.

Are dental bone grafts painful?
Understanding patient concerns about discomfort, we prioritize your comfort and well-being at DeFuniak Springs Family Dental. Dental bone grafting is performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available to ensure a pain-free experience.
Post-procedure, some patients may experience mild soreness or swelling, which can be effectively managed with prescribed medication or over-the-counter pain relievers. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and support to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.

How long does it take to recover from a dental bone graft?
Recovery times can vary based on the extent of the grafting procedure and the individual’s health. Generally, patients can expect to resume normal activities within a few days, with complete healing taking place over the next few months.
During this time, the grafted bone material integrates with the existing bone, creating a solid foundation for future dental implants. Our dental professionals will closely monitor your recovery, providing guidance and support to ensure optimal healing and success of the graft.
