Avoid smoking, and get proper nutrition.
There is no way to speed up bone graft healing...time will heal everything.

It's all up to your body, not much you can do except proper diet, blood sugar control, no smoking (of course), and generally do only healthy things to keep your body in its best shape. If you're waiting for an implant, don't try to rush things. Being sure things are ready is more important than trying to make things happen sooner.

Be patient and eat a well-balanced, healthy diet with adequate calcium and other nutrients.
