The recovery time for osseous surgery varies from patient to patient, depending on the severity of the periodontal disease and the extent of the surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days of the procedure, but it may take up to a week or two to fully recover.
During the recovery period, avoid hard or crunchy foods and follow your dentist's post-operative instructions carefully. This may include using a special mouthwash or following a specific oral hygiene routine.
