After Extraction

Great care should be taken to follow all postoperative instructions. Your gums and bone will change after extraction and regular check-ups and maintenance will monitor healing and reduce problems. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners may be required to create an optimal fit and may need to be adjusted or replaced a number of times during the healing period. A permanent denture reline may be required to ensure a comfortable and an exact fit after you have completed the healing process.
