Bone grafts from the mouth If a small amount of bone is required the bone is
usually taken from another part of the mouth. This can easily
be carried out in the surgery. This is either the back of the
mouth (wisdom tooth area) or the chin. The donor site is selected
depending on the shape of the bone needed and the amount available.
Bone grafts take in the region of 2-4 months to heal. Following
the healing period implants can then be placed into the grafted
site in the normal way.
