How long before i can eat normally and be pain free after a dental bone grafting?

Grafting: Depends on the type of grafting. Taking bone from somewhere else in your mouth and placing it somewhere it is needed is different than using a bone product off the shelf. Are you grafting one tooth or an entire arch? Smaller grafts in my experience are one to two days. Talk to your surgeon.

Be careful: Be careful during the initial 2-3 weeks so as not to disturb the soft tissue healing or the incision. Depending on the type and size of the defect being grafted bone can take up to a year to fully mineralize and mature. Refrain from hard crunchy foods or playing with the sutures with your tongue.

Depends: The recovery time depends on the type and extent of bone grafting performed. It can be from a a day to a few weeks.

Soon: Typically patients are uncomfortable for 3-5 days following the procedure but this is manageable with medications.

1 week: It depends on what type of bone grafting was done and how many teeth were involved. Most patients are able to control their discomfort with 1 or 2 aleve (naproxen) a day. Ice for the first two days also helps. Larger more in depth grafts may take more time generally no more than 2 week and it should feel pretty normal.

1 week: Normally it takes from 1-2 weeks. But only the first and second day are uncomfortable the otherones you will be able to do your life normally with just a little discomfort from the surgery and the stiches.
