Many patients are surprised to learn that bone grafting is typically much more comfortable than they anticipate. At All Dental Tampa Palms, we prioritize your comfort throughout the bone grafting process.
During the Bone Grafting Procedure
Dr. Freeman, our board-certified oral surgeon, ensures your complete comfort during bone grafting through:
- Effective Anesthesia — The area is thoroughly numbed before beginning any work
- IV Sedation — For anxious patients, Dr. Freeman offers in-house IV sedation that creates a deeply relaxed state where you'll feel little to no discomfort and may not remember much of the procedure
- Expert Technique — Dr. Freeman's advanced training and experience allow him to work precisely and efficiently.
Most patients report feeling pressure during the procedure but not pain.
What to Expect after Bone Grafting
Following bone grafting, you can expect:
- Mild to moderate discomfort for the first few days, typically well-managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication
- Gradually decreasing sensitivity as healing progresses
- Personalized aftercare instructions to minimize discomfort and promote proper healing
Dr. Freeman often incorporates PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy into bone grafting procedures. This advanced technique uses your body's own healing factors to encourage faster recovery and reduce post-operative discomfort.
Supportive Care for Bone Grafting
