Recovery time varies by procedure. Simple extractions typically heal within a few days, while bone grafting may take several weeks. Dr. Tekle will provide detailed post-operative instructions for your specific procedure.
When is a tooth extraction necessary?
Extraction may be recommended for severely decayed or damaged teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, teeth causing overcrowding, or teeth that cannot be saved with other treatments like root canals or crowns.
What is bone grafting and why might I need it?
Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds jawbone that has been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. It is often necessary before dental implant placement to ensure a strong foundation for the implant.
