Extraction Sockets & Bone Remodeling Timeline
After tooth extraction, primary gum tissue healing takes 2-3 weeks, while underlying bone remodeling continues actively over 3 to 6 months.
Maintaining Oral Hygiene During Healing
Rinse gently with warm salt water, brush remaining natural teeth carefully, and keep scheduled follow-ups with your prosthetist.
