  2. INTRODUCTION Bone grafting in San Francisco helps rebuild lost jawbone and supports long-term oral health. After the procedure, expect mild swelling, dietary changes, and follow-up care. With proper healing, most patients recover within a few months and are ready for the next steps in their dental journey.

  4. 1.MILD DISCOMFORT AND SWELLING It’s normal to experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising after bone grafting. Discomfort and swelling are most noticeable during the first 2–3 days before gradually diminishing. Using a cold compress and following your oral surgeon’s pain management plan can help ease discomfort and support early healing.

  5. 2. DIET ADJUSTMENTS After surgery, stick to soft, easy-to-chew foods like mashed potatoes, smoothies, yogurt, and soups. Skip spicy, hard, or chewy foods that could irritate your mouth, and don’t use straws—suction may disrupt the healing area. Proper nutrition supports your recovery without stressing the grafted area.

  6. 3.MINOR BLEEDING IS NORMAL Slight bleeding or pink-tinged saliva is common during the first 24 hours post-procedure. Your oral surgeon will place gauze to manage bleeding — bite down gently to promote clot formation. Avoid spitting, rinsing, or touching the area immediately after surgery to prevent disturbing the clot and slowing the healing process.

  7. 4.ORAL HYGIENE GUIDELINES Keeping your mouth clean is key, but be gentle— don’t brush over the bone graft site for a few days after surgery. Instead, gently clean surrounding teeth and use any prescribed mouth rinses. A saltwater rinse may also be recommended to reduce bacteria and support healing without disturbing the surgical site.

  8. 5.FOLLOW-UP VISITS Regular follow-up visits are necessary to monitor your recovery and ensure the graft is integrating properly with your jawbone. Your dentist may take digital X-rays or 3D appointments to assess healing progress. These visits help detect early signs of infection or complications and determine readiness for the next phase. scans during these San Francisco Oral Surgery and Implantology (415) 318-1818 www.sfimplantology.com WWW

  9. 6.HEALING TIMELINE Healing from bone grafting varies by patient, but most recover fully within 3 to 6 months. While you may feel better in a few days, full bone integration takes time. During this period, the body works to generate new bone strengthening the area treatments. around for the graft, dental future San Francisco Oral Surgery and Implantology (415) 318-1818 www.sfimplantology.com WWW
