Once your back has : Healed in terms of you being able to sit or recline for a long period of time should be the right time which would be between 4 to 8 weeks.

Depends; min. 6 mo.: This is something you must ask your surgeon. As a general rule, a dentist waits 6 months after orthopedic surgery to begin major dental work, provided your surgeon clears you for treatment.

It's complicated: Actually there isn't an easy answer. There is not a lot of true literature on this. If a patient can wait, then i would advise them to wait 4-6 weeks after the spine procedure prior to undergoing major dental surgery.
