  • I just got extraction & bone graft today , no pain i got antibiotic for infection & ibuprofen for pain
  • I just had this procedure done about 2 hours ago. I had 2 bottom molars on both sides extracted and grafting done. Have to wait 4 months to heal before going back to get screws put into the new bone material. Once that heals, crowns will be put on. This is the best option if you are getting important teeth extracted. I had an option for Demerol, but decided to do just Novacane for me. Wasn't as bad as I thought. Ibuprofen 600mg and Norco 5/325mg for pain following the procedure.

    for those who are completing a bone graft after an extraction -- you don't even feel it - just expensive $850.

    I have a cleft lip and I'm missing a small bone in my gum, so I have to get a bone graft and I really enjoyed this video!

    I just had the membrane type of graft put on. It seems to be healing nicely. I'm getting an implant next to one I had done 9 years ago. It was a root canal tooth that went bad. My graft also cost about $850.

    I've had dental implants for 10 years; 2in the front and they both had cadaver bone and they never have hurt and are a success I'd say.
