How long does it take for facial fractures to heal?

6 weeks: It really varies on the location of the fracture and the severity of the fracture, however, in general bones take 6 weeks to heal.

Long Time: Bone healing happens very slowly. At around 6 weeks, fractures have enough strength to tolerate some load and enough mineralization to show up on an x-ray. However, the remodeling process takes up to 18 months and the bone is slowly getting stronger the entire time.
