Tooth Extraction
Swelling typically subsides within 48–72 hours, and soft tissue healing is usually complete in 1–2 weeks. If stitches were used, they will either dissolve on their own or require removal by Dr. Nesiba during a follow-up appointment. The entire process of healing and recuperation takes several weeks.
Because tooth extraction can lead to cosmetic concerns and functional issues, Dr. Nesiba offers several solutions for the missing tooth. One option is a dental implant, which looks and feels like a healthy, natural tooth. It can improve the patient’s smile and prevent food particles from being trapped in the space left after tooth extraction.
