How long is recovery?

Most patients are back to normal eating within a few days. We'll give you specific instructions and a follow-up plan based on your procedure.

What is dry socket, and how do I avoid it?

After an extraction, a blood clot forms in the socket to protect the bone while it heals. Dry socket happens when that clot is lost too early, leaving the area painful. Smoking or vaping is the biggest risk — the suction can pull the clot loose and the chemicals slow healing — so hold off for at least 72 hours, longer if you can. Drinking through a straw, spitting, and rinsing hard can dislodge it too. If the pain gets worse a few days after your extraction instead of better, call us.
