Here at our Marietta, GA dental practice, bone graft surgery is minimally painful because you’ll receive sedation and a local anesthetic prior to the procedure. Patients typically report not feeling any discomfort during the surgery, and depending on the type of sedation used, some patients will even fall asleep.
Any pain you may experience after your bone grafting procedure can be alleviated with a cold compress and over-the-counter medications such as Ibuprofen. If you continue to experience pain that can’t be mitigated with over-the-counter pain relievers, contact us and we’ll determine the best way to address your discomfort.
