Sounds like a very good treatment plan and that you have very knowledgable docs treating you. Not sure what you mean by a "bone solution" but it is probably a bone graft and I'm sure that the purpose is to get denser bone in the upper jaw so that the implants will integrate better. The upper jaw bone is more porous than the lower and that's why the immediate placement of the implants in the lower jaw is more common.
Sounds like you'll be eating your favorite foods way before Christmas.
Good luck and keep me posted.
