How to replace teeth after tooth extraction

Some people are not clear about how to get dentures after tooth extraction. In fact, this requires going to a professional dental clinic or oral hospital for treatment. Many people lose their teeth due to some accidents or because of old age, so dentures are what they need to do. Some dentists will choose to design a good denture plan based on your tooth loss situation to meet the user's dental needs. Let's take a brief look at the steps.

In order to restore the integrity of the dentition after tooth extraction, restoration is required. Restoration can be carried out at different times according to the customer's requirements and specific conditions. The alveolar bone is absorbed rapidly in the first 2 to 3 months after tooth extraction, and the absorption is basically stable after three months (i.e. the wound is completely healed 2 to 3 months after tooth extraction), which is conducive to tooth replacement.

1. Immediate restoration: Take a model before extraction, and the extracted tooth can be trimmed on the model to make a denture. Wearing dentures immediately after tooth extraction will have poor retention effect due to the poor fit at the extraction site.

2. For the first-stage surgery of implant dentures, the alveolar bone in the extraction wound must heal completely 4-6 months after the tooth extraction. Other local and systemic conditions must also meet the requirements of implant dentures. Subsequent surgeries also require corresponding time and conditions.

3. Permanent restoration: Generally, the restoration is performed after the patient's alveolar process grows flat, about 3 months after tooth extraction. At this time, the alveolar process is long and flat, and there will be little change afterwards. Full dentures are also the last tooth extraction about 3 months ago. The prerequisite is that other conditions in the mouth meet the requirements for full dentures.

4. Repair after the extraction mucosa heals: One week after the tooth extraction, the gingival tissue begins to heal. At this time, a mold is taken for repair. Due to the existence of the alveolar socket, a buffer should be made on the denture to leave space for the alveolar bone to grow. The patient has been missing teeth for a short time, but because the alveolar bone has not grown flat, a lining will be needed after 3 months. In addition, there is a lack of stimulation during the growth of the alveolar bone, so the growth surface is uneven and the surface is not smooth.

In fact, there are a lot of dental clinics now. If a tooth is extracted, the gums still need to be repaired for a period of time before dentures can be installed. Only in this way can the comfort of the dentures be guaranteed. At the same time, you need to find a professional dentist to take molds and design them, and then you need to return for follow-up visits in time. After waiting for a period of time, you can get the right teeth installed. If you have any questions later, you can still consult a doctor.
