Getting a permanent partial denture after the extractions depends on the number of the extraction and the status of the bone and gum tissue. The bone usually goes under changes within the next 6 months following the extractions. However, you always have the option of getting an immediate partial denture while the bone is healing and until you start the process of the permanent partial denture.

Thanks for contacting me, and I'm sorry that you are experiencing some pain. If you don't have any kidney and liver problems, you can alternate between Tylenol 500 mg and Ibuprofen 600 mg, over the counter, every 4-6 hours. That combination is very effective to relieve pain.
Ask your physician if you are able to take Tylenol or ibuprofen. I hope this helps.

Dental cysts do not go away on their own. They tend to get bigger in size over time. However, the rate at which they grow usually depends on the nature of the cyst.
How do you relieve pain from a dental bridge?

I’m sorry about that. I’m not sure what is exactly the reason that the bridge hurts, but if I take a guess, I think the bridge is putting too much pressure on the gum, where the tooth is missing. It might be that a part of the bridge is too high, or food gets trapped there. If the bridge is high, that has to be fixed by the dentist. If food gets trapped there, I suggest that you use the water pick or super floss to clean the area.
I hope that helps. If it doesn’t, it’s best to see your dentist for evaluation.

The gum might be sore for about 7-10 days following scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). Scaling and root planing is an invasive procedure and it is natural for the gum to be sore for a short period, but after that the gum starts to heal toward a healthy condition. You can discuss with your dentist regarding pain medication while the gum is healing.

Hello,
The short answer is yes, you can close a gap without orthodontics. That would be with lab-made or chair-side veneers that cover the gap. The long answer is that for the best cosmetic results, the treatment depends on the situation: how big are the size of the gaps and the teeth that we are working on, and where the gaps are. For example, if there is a large gap between the two front teeth (called diastema) and the teeth are small, it is not most cosmetic if those two front teeth are covered with very large veneers in an attempt to close the gap. That is because the result would be two very large front teeth, which is not very cosmetic. In that case, we have to equalize the space between all the front teeth, using orthodontic treatment, and then cover the teeth with veneers that have the right size proportions.
I hope this answers your question.
