Bone graft: About 3 months. If you have not had a dental implant placed yet, one can placed at 3-4 months.

4 months or more: Complete bone healing after a graft requires bone cell migration, attachment, differentiation, proliferation, and maturation as the graft resorps. These stages would take places at least 4 months or more prior to loading (functioning). The time for the complete healing depends on the extent of the defect, the type of graft, the absence of infection and the complete coverage of graft.
