[@kathleenwhite6762]

I have had 5 implants three needed bone graft. it does not hurt and you needn't worry

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

That's great to hear!

[@x-man5056]

Hurts you wallet. $400 for each one is what I just paid in N. Nevada.

[@manuelsoledad5505]

400 where? Adress, I'm paying at least 1500 for one. Not to mention what I paid for the grafting and extraction of the old tooth

[@x-man5056]

@@manuelsoledad5505It was $399/tooth, I had 5 pulled. But another $400/tooth for the extraction. I got bone spurs coming out the side of my gum on one of them. I'm not enthused buy it. Reno, NV

​@@manuelsoledad5505😑 1500 are you kidding. In india it cost about 400

I'm in the middle of a bone grafting procedure. Presently waiting for the bone to fill in. I have watched an untold number of dental implant explainer videos and none of them did as thorough a job as you did here. Thank you!

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

Thank you for the awesome feedback! Wishing you a quick and easy recovery process!

Thank you for this! This easied my mind so much i thought this was a way more extensive surgery than it is

[@harleyramirez9981]

Thank you for teaching me about bone grafts . What are the animals that we use to get bones used for grafting ?

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

The bone that is used for grafts can come from human, animal, or synthetic sources. Animal bone can sometimes come from equine or porcine sources. Hope this helps!

[@HFH-Official]

About 50% of the bone grafts used in the world come from bovine. The rest are either synthetic, pigs, or even the patient's own body, but the most common is bovine.

[@txterbug]

I’m getting a 2nd molar extracted tomorrow and he wants to do a bone graft just in case I wanna get an implant. Is there any benefit to the bone graft if I DONT want an implant? I honestly think I can live without the tooth. Bone graft gonna cost about $300 because insurance doesn’t cover it. Is there a benefit for it anyways?? Prevent dry socket?? Just to add more bone mass??

[@feleciawallace8420]

Excellent video... I wanted to know before my consultation visit in a couple of weeks answers regarding extractions, implants and grafting bone... which wasn't included in my #19 tooth extraction 4 days ago. So how long to wait after tooth extraction for bone graft install if found that it's needed, next to wait for the implant? It's nice to learn (while watching this particular video) it can be done during the installation of the implant, therefore unnecessary to wait an additional 3 months for bone graft, after already waiting for the gums to heal after the extraction date... This is great news indeed....... Thank you, Doctor, I greatly appreciate it...

[@EL-yi6df]

Which bone graft material do you recommend ? Molars with/without sinus lift. Thank you.

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

The type of bone graft material will depend based on the area being grafted and also on the goals of the grafting procedure. Your surgeon may also be more familiar and experienced with certain types of grafts. Some upper molars may or may not need sinus lifts depending on the quantity/quality of bone present.

Thanks that helped me a lot I have to get one in January

My ortho recommend bridging but i choose the implant. Only because im concern about my facial structure after pulling those 4premolars. Im on my adult brace right now im 37. I was inform that my 2lower molars cant be move both sides because of boneloss. Im stress about it. I thought i was only paying for the brace now leads to 2 implants and bone grafting. My question is can i have bonegraft then move my molars instead of implant? Will that be possible? Im allergenic to certain things and an implant is a foreign object. Hope u can ans dr. Tx.

[@priyaadlakha3482]

It’s been 6 years since extraction, I now want to get implant but doctor has recommended no grafting, is this normal?

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

If it appears that your bone volume is sufficient in the area to place the implant, bone grafting is not always indicated. Hope this helps!

[@abdellahait801]

Hey i have a question please,How long it’s still normal to do bone graft in case I didn’t at the same time when the tooth had extracted ?

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

Bone grafts can certainly be done before or even years after a tooth is extracted. It all depends on the situation, so it may be a good idea to get things checked out! Hope that helps!

[@jojoperez6454]

Aren't the bone grafts made from Cadaver bones? Isn't that the bone substitute material is?

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

There are a number of different types of bone grafts. Some of the most common sources are from cadaver, from animal, or synthetic. Regardless of where the bone is sourced from, it will be treated to properly disinfect and sterilize the material before it comes anywhere near the dental office. Hope this helps!

[@theroyalone7588]

What kind diet to be on during bone graft

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

After any dental surgical procedure, it is always a good idea to stick to a gentler diet. Nothing too hot or spicy. Nothing you need to be chewing too hard. Avoid foods with smaller bits like rice or seed-containing foods which can get trapped around the grafted site. Hope this helps! Check out our extraction and implant post-op videos which may provide you some additional information!

[@yasirsaleem7025]

Are there occassions where bone grafting can't be done? What is the alternative if you don't want to get dentures?

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

Depending on the situation, there may be some instances where a bone graft may not be the best choice. There are many different teeth replacement options including implants, dentures, and bridges. Make sure to watch our video series comparing implants, dentures, and bridges for more information regarding the differences! Also, make sure to schedule an appointment with your dentist so they can see what is going on, and can tell you what your best options may be!

[@arjunbala2378]

Can we eat chicken 🍗 after bone grafting or only liquid and soft food no crunchy or sticky food

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

After the first few days of healing, you should definitely be okay to have chicken! Just make sure that you are having it in smaller and softer pieces. Make sure that it does not get stuck around the grafted site. Hope this helps!

How long does a bone graft last? Also,

[@MrSaadia27]

I got one it cost me 400 insurance usually don't cover that.

[@texaslockpicker7123]

Is it normal to have dry throat for days after tooth removal and bone graft surgery?

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

This can be normal, as you likely have had to keep your mouth open for quite some time, and also had a lot of suctioning done too which can dry out your mouth quite a bit.

[@synchronicity75]

Hi sir, Im 50 and I'm getting full mouth implants hopefully by 6 months from now. I'm going for sinus lift & bone graft surgery under full anesthesia some time next week. Doctor told me that they need, 2 cubic like pieces for my upper jaw which they'll take from my own jaw(or chin) and and also need 2 smaller but longer pieces for my lower which i think they are going to use synthetic fillers for. Do you think it will be painful. I still don't fully understand, why do they want to use my chin, as at first he suggested using my hip but decided he didn't need a very big piece so now is suggesting using my own jaw for grafting. Will it have complications. Do you think my gums will recover well. Do you think i should go on with it or chicken out of the whole procedure. They told me they perform a lot of these operations, but at the moment its terrifying me..What do you think i should do, as im in urgent need of a full set of theeth. Im sick of dentures. Sorry for the long comment.

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

Sounds like you have a good plan set for how you can get your mouth to a healthy state! Any kind of dental procedures do come with some amount of discomfort, and also comes with the possibility of complications, but do not let this dissuade you! The long term effects of living without teeth are far worse and more uncomfortable than the short time that you will be enduring while you are getting things fixed! Hope this helps~

I'm getting bone soon for an implant, if the tooth donor took the Covid shot could I get the effects of the Covid shot and boosters? I have not had the covid shot and I've never gotten the Covid virus.

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

Generally, bone graft materials are extensively sterilized and prepared so that it is literally just the bone mineral material, with out any other contaminations present, so you should not need to be worried about any covid related transmissions

[@michael-dy8tz]

Thank you so much, I am relieved. @@smileonyouandblessedsmile

[@Kimsam04]

Is it normal to have the gums sensitive after 3 months after bone graft?

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

This definitely sounds normal. Gums can remain sensitive for few months after the procedure as things are still healing and the gums are still getting tighter around the teeth and bone.

Come on! Tell us, does it hurt or not???

[@jimfran2761]

Yes it does

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

Generally, the placement of the bone graft itself is a completely harmless procedure. However, this often comes along with the removal of a tooth or some kind of gum or implant surgery which is where a little more of the discomfort may come in. You will generally be completely numb for the procedure itself, but you should expect some minor discomfort in the days following the procedure.
