Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift

The timeline varies from patient to patient. After a bone graft or sinus lift, your jaw needs time to heal and develop enough bone to support the dental implant. Your dentist or oral surgeon monitors the healing process and determines when you’re ready for the next stage of treatment.

In some cases, healing may take several months before implant placement can proceed. Once the implant is placed, it also needs time to integrate with the surrounding bone before your final crown is attached. This process, called osseointegration, helps establish a stable foundation for the restoration.

Your overall treatment timeline depends on factors such as the amount and type of bone grafting required, your individual healing response, the location of the implant, and your oral health. Rather than relying on a set timeframe, your dental team evaluates your healing and uses clinical examinations and imaging when appropriate to determine when it’s safe to move forward.
