We will send you home from bone graft dental surgery with specific instructions customized to your unique circumstances. In general, we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for at least two to three days after receiving your bone graft.
As you progress through your dental bone graft healing stages, sinus swelling is a typical side effect to expect. You can minimize this by applying ice packs for 20 minutes at a time during the first 48 hours. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication to keep you comfortable and antibiotics to prevent infections.
