I had a bone graft done the other day. I thought it was going to be so painful but it didn’t even hurt. Just felt sim mild pressure. I didn’t even have to take the ibuprofen they prescribed me. I’ve just taken the amoxicillin they’ve given me to prevent any infection. If you have a great dentist, it’ll be fine! It’s WAY better than a tooth extraction omg now THAT was painful for me.
Girl I just left the dentist and omg they just extracted my back tooth and when I say it was a lot of pressure it made me so shaky and nervous 😢 I was crying and everything I begged them to let my husband come in the back w me. How long did it take u to heal up? I'm not hurting too much but it does kinda burn a bit but I got my 800 mg ibuprofen 😊 I'm so glad i got all of that out the way Jeezus Christttt that was not fun at all! Please people take care of ur teeth 😢
@@gypsyy897 omg girl yes. When I got my extraction, I was crying in the chair!! The assistant let me hold her hand lol. It took about a month to heal up then dentist realized I needed a bone graft. ( a lot of pressure as well but not too bad because the nerve of the tooth is gone in the area.) he added the screw that day as well. (You’ll get numbed) that took a month to heal. I had my follow up last week! Got a mold taken for my crown now on august 3rd I go have the crown put on. Just make sure you keep your gums and the area of the missing tooth clean!!!!! You got this girl!!! I’ve always taken care of my teeth but I chipped a really old filling eating ice 😩
you are a lucky one, my mouth was swollen like two big potatos stuffed in it. Extreme pain for 3 days minimum, only had liquids for those days. Para and ibro every day every 4 hours + anti biotics,
Again just an excellent video. I'm struggling to find a Dentist that I feel comfortable doing my bone graft. This Dentist is very knowledgeable on this subject. I go to him in a heartbeat if he wasn't so far away.
I only post my experience with my implants because it seems that my experience seems to be outside of the norm. After 30 years of playing competitive hockey, I decided it was time to get rid of the bridges veneers and replace all of the makeshift repairs one time only so I had all of my teeth, extracted and implants installed in three hours, which turned out to be a total of 11 implants on top and 11 implants on the bottom. Temporary teeth were mounted on the implants. This was a Saturday Sunday. I took it easy and Monday I went to work. No I don’t like taking antibiotics, so I didn’t. I just kept my mouth very clean and within about 48 hours I had almost no pain and was able to eat almost anything but I was still careful I don’t like taking pain Medication so maybe my tolerance is a little higher than most, but I didn’t have anything on a significant level as far as Pain is concerned, I just kept my mouth clean and avoided, taking anything after the fact
Hello you seem to have plenty of experience about the whole process. Can l ask you something? I need just a single lower implant and also bone graft, l was told. Can the implant and bone grafting be done at the same time? Do they put something provisional in the way for the final crown? How long could it take the whole process in my case? Sorry if l am not asking the right question as l am very ignorant about these issues. Thank you!
@@felroberto From my understanding the bone graft is independent process he needs to be done first you have to make sure the bone does graft onto her properly and then they could put in the implant. Can’t do it at the same time because I had some bone grafting done after a car accident.
@@Facepalm00 my experience with bone graphs was not very good. I had a lot of swelling on my face. It was probably one of the poorer experiences that I had but I’m not saying that to make you afraid it’s a process you have to go through. Are used to rinse my mouth out with diluted hydrogen peroxide and mouthwash you buy over the counter. I would dilute it a little bit with water so you don’t want that burning sensation and it’s also a pretty good opportunity to maybe lose a couple pounds just stop eating for a few days and of course can’t go wrong with Ice Cream. Good luck.
@@takishabaker7520 I had an upper back molar extracted and they said I needed a bone graft because of the close proximity to the sinuses. I'm also immuno suppressed, so anything to plug the socket, and make it heal faster, I'm all for it.
Gong in a week to have a failed root canal tooth extracted and a bone graft. I told the endodontist that some pain was still there 2 weeks later. They went ahead and capped it anyway. Been mild pain for 5 years. Now they say it's got to be yanked. They should have done it in the 1st place. By the time I'm done , I'll have a $7k dollar tooth.
It's about money. You shouldn't have had any pain after that.its not normal. They probably didn't fill the canals or the tooth had a crack in it from the crown .
All of my root canals failed and turned into infections with having to have them pulled years later. Always had a little pain since procedure but they let it be. Huge scam. If I ever need one again, id tell them to yank and not look back.
I've just had my impacted wisdom teeth removed as I also had a huge lower jaw bone cyst removed and then a bone graph and I can not open my mouth even a half a inch 😩
I had mine 25 years ago due to a bad skateboarding accident. Long story short im in a ton of pain and the area where it was done is 100% infected and coming out of where the scar was.
During a routine cleaning in November 2024. My dentist discovered that my tooth was at the beginning stages of dying from damage from my braces back in the 80's. Anyway, in January 2024, I got a bone graft and was told to wait for three to four months for the graft to heal. I returned today May 20th to learn that the graft wasn't strong enough to hold the implant post. So he re-grafted, added bone and I have to wait another three months and try again. Ugh
Hello Doctor, I had a block dental graft three months ago, and still have numbness around the bone graft area, lip, gum and near nose .is this normal? will I get the feeling back in those areas ..No pain though..Thank you! Will be seeing my dentist in a month, so I will keep mentioning this, although didn't seem too concerned ..
My Dr explained the stages of swelling would advance from day 1 to day 3. Then quickly be back close to normal within 4 days. She did no tell me that on the 3rd day, I would look like Martin Lawrence when he boxed the professional boxer!😂 I looked crazy. Black eye bruises and all
@angelitahussein5045 For me the bone graft took about 9 weeks (on xray) to heal. I also took multivitamins during this whole implant process. And yes the swelling was so shocking.😂 good luck
I’m on the morning of day 4 and I’m dying in pain I have had 3 kids and I would say the pain when not on Advil is very comparable to contractions in the mouth it’s terrible I didn’t know it was this painful
So it’s not all I’m my head. I am not supposed to take ibuprofen per GI doc. I broke down and took 200mg. I am assuming dentist and oral surgeons are taking the blame for the opioid epidemic.
Hello, What is the difference between LANAP and bone grafting. Is LANAP deeper procedure for SRP? How do you determine if you need bone grafting done. Is it for patients that need implants?
bone graft is just cadaver bone ground up and put in the jaw bone socket for an implant after the tooth is removed , 3 months later they put the crown on . no pain no big deal only hurt is in the pocket book .
there is synthetic graph material that dentists can use, There is always a possibility of disease transfer if you use some other cadaver for bone donation
Update: 7 days ago found out I had an abscess above bone graft and had to have everything scraped out and sterilized. Feeling better but still having some soreness which is to be expected.
@@jenni3203 be thankful.I could not get mine removed after it got infected and they just gave me more of the same antibiotic.Its been almost a year and The pain and problems went on for months ! I still have issues at times.The dentist that did it blew me off and no other dentist or oral surgeon would remove .I will NEVER get this again.I believe I still deal with I infection and nerve damage .
@@StarDivine777 That is really messed up! I’m sorry you are going through that. I didn’t even update after my last one. After I got the bonegraft removed I had to go on another 7 day course of antibiotics. I got really really sick. After 15 days of getting worse and worse I took myself to the walk in. I got C Diff!!! I had to go on a horrible Antibiotic called vancomycin, I literally felt like death. Thankfully I recovered and didn’t get hospitalized or need a fecal transplant.
Can anyone tell me when I can use mouthwash again after a bone graft surgery??? I cannot find anything online and am tired of looking. It’s been at least a month since the surgery.
U can actually use mouthwash after bone graft. My dentist gave me mouth wash to rinse the bone graft area to prevent infection, should not swish or rinse vigorously. We dont rinse probably only around 24 hrs after bone graft.
Sir I have 2 tooth extraction a week ago and still pain is severe and continues pain at site ,also had bone graft there can you tell me is the pain's normal or abnormal,, there is not any sign of infection as per predontists said
@@StarMax01check with your dentist, i had Tuesday and Thursday done bone graft plus implants on on side and sinus lift plus implants and Boone graft on the other , now is Sunday , 5 days later pain is gone like 70% just swollen.
Update? I’m one week in and I can’t eat bc it’s my bottom molar on both sides. I tried soggy cereal today and it got stuck and my gum seems like it’s not healing over. I’m probably being paranoid but did your work out fine?
@@gratitudetouniverse3754 hey! Yes it was really tender, I’m 5 months out tho and I’m all healed up. It still feels a little weird if something hard pushes into it but not like pain. I would say after 3 months it was no bother at all.
@@tania.malese Thank you. I had bone graft on tooth # 9 for about one month. It is not painful but when i touch the gums there is tendeness but not pain. I guess it is normal then.
Hi, what about hygiene around the area? It’s my third day , can I clean the area with a soft brush or is better to ovoid this area? It hurts so much..😢
@@Kimsam04 they should have given you 2 bottles of the rinse for hygiene around the area. That and motrin. (From cvs or whatever). I have to get another one too this week. Oh joy
My dentist said I can not do a bone graft. He did not explain why I just think he did not want me to go to another dentist to get me implant . He just wanted the money
Day 4 here after bone graft on top below nasal area. Not a nasal lift just a graft. So I'm here now with very swollen face and a black eye. But still excited for implant
I will have the same area done this December. I'm also very excited about the treatment and the implant afterwards. Currently, there is a grey, chipped, 20 yo root canal there. How is your healing?
@@maeghangiles7488 after about 2 weeks on soft foods. I finally tried some cereal. I healed quickly. No implant yet. I will know that exact date on November 22. I smile a lot & so very ready for my teeth.
@@cocojulieta102 I did have crazy swelling! My whole face was swollen by the 3rd day. After the 3rd day the swelling went down pretty fast. There was still a little swelling around the graft area for another week. I can still feel a tad bit of a lump in that area.
I’m getting my tooth pulled and will live with a gap between the upper rear teeth. I’ll put the $3k into a CD. I’m done putting money into my mouth. I’m 69 and don’t plan on living more that 10 years so I’ll enjoy the money. My buddy had an implant with bone graft and sinus lift and he told me Never Again!
