How long does it take to recover from a bone graft in the mouth? We have discussed the topic of bone graft in other articles, and the answer to this question really depends on which type of bone graft you are having done. A socket preservation graft should take three to four months of healing time. This means that the site will then be ready to receive a dental implant. A sinus augmentation may take from four months all the way up to nine months to heal. This means that the bone will then be ready to receive the dental implants. Because of the size of the augmentation and the nature of it, the healing time is much longer than that of a socket preservation. A ridge augmentation bone graft may also take up to six months or more to heal. Your doctor will let you know how long it will take for your bone graft, and may take additional CT scans or x-rays to verify that it is ready to receive a dental implant.

How long does it take to recover from the bone graft as far as pain or soreness? A socket preservation should be one to two days with no exercise for a week. A sinus augmentation procedure or bone graft can take a week to recover or up to four weeks. A ridge augmentation is the most painful of all the bone graft procedures, and can take one to two weeks to heal or recover. Everyone is different, and you may not experience any pain at all, or you may experience more pain than usual. Speak to your dental implant provider to find out what you should expect based on the type of bone grafting you are getting.
