How long after teeth removal can I get dentures?
You can get an immediate dentures right after extractions but for permanent dentures it’s better to wait couple of weeks for healing and they will still need relining because bone keeps changing until about 6 months after extraction. READ MORE
How long does it take to get used to partial dentures?
It probably takes couple of weeks and sometimes a lot of adjustments, don’t hesitate calling your dentist for adjustment especially if you see redness, spore spots or pain while using the dentures READ MORE
Does massaging gums help receding?
It helps with the comfort and increasing blood flow to the area but the damage is not reversible, the only way to recover exposed roots is by having periodontal grafts. READ MORE

What should a tooth extraction look like when healing?
The socket of the tooth will be closed and will look like gum READ MORE
What happens if you don't floss while having braces?
You might get decay on your teeth and also gum disease. I highly recommend extra brushing and flossing while on braces READ MORE
Should I whiten my teeth before bonding?
If you want to get composite restorations on front teeth then it’s better to whiten the teeth first because you can’t whiten the fillings later READ MORE
How long does retainer pain last?

Do dental crowns look natural?
Yes they can look so natural especially if you choose Emax crown. READ MORE
How do you prepare your teeth for braces?
If you haven’t already done so, book an appointment with your general dentist to get a routine check-up and clean. This is because your orthodontist needs your teeth and gums to be nice and healthy before your braces are fitted. Also, be sure to thoroughly brush your teeth and floss in the lead up to your appointment so that your teeth and gums are in the best possible condition on the day your braces are applied. READ MORE
Should a partial denture hurt?
Hi, It's hard to adjust to new dentures for the first few weeks, but If the denture puts too much pressure on a particular area, that spot will become sore. Your dentist will adjust the partial denture to fit more comfortably. You should have a follow-up appointment. I hope you will feel better!! READ MORE
What's the difference between a tooth extraction and a surgical tooth extraction?
Hi, Simple tooth extractions remove visible teeth. They are usually performed by a general dentist. A surgical extraction is a little bit more complicated; it involves a tooth that is impacted inside the jaw and cannot be removed without making an incision, or a broken tooth under the bone level and handpiece is needed to drill around the tooth to be able to remove it. I hope this was helpful!! READ MORE
