Anytime: Anytime..Just make sure have got a dental check up so if any cavities or work needed is treated that way during pregnancy you just have to get routine check up and cleaning and not worry about treatment..Brush and floss regularly and can try getting pregnant anytime.

Dental and pregnancy: If the site has healed there should be no dental contra-indication. Always have an opinion from your OBGYN, And have your DDS contact your OBGYN if you are pregnant, if you should need dental care during the pregnancy.

Bone Graft: I would agree that it is fine to start trying to have a baby. Keep in mind, the bone graft is in preparation for an implant, and having elective procedures (i.e. implant placement) is not recommended during pregnancy. So, if you succeed in getting pregnant, plan accordingly.
