Recovery and Healing After Your Procedure
Everyone heals a bit differently, but most patients feel back to normal within a week or two. The first few days are the most important for resting, avoiding strenuous activity, and following the care plan we provide.
During the first 24–48 hours, it’s common to experience some swelling or mild discomfort. Using cold compresses, taking recommended medications, and sticking to soft foods will help you feel better faster. Avoid using straws, smoking, or disturbing the clot at the extraction site to prevent dry socket.
Full healing of the gum typically takes a few weeks. If you have stitches, we’ll schedule a follow-up visit to check your progress and remove them if needed. Our team is always here to support your recovery and answer any questions that come up along the way.
