After bone graft what would be longest period of time for the next procedure

Q. Please could you tell me what the longest period of time, before the next procedure is carried out, a bone graft and be left? And do they begin to deteriorate if left too long? Thank you very much for your time.

A. I tend to leave my bone grafts for 4-6 months before the implant is placed, the graft can shrink away if left un stimulated for too long. Once the implant is placed the graft will stay in place.
