This is by far the best dentist in Kendall. I've been living here for more than 20 years, and I have had many prior experiences with other dentists, and never have I had such a good experience. I had a dental implant done here about 2 years ago, and I have no complaints.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for your gums to heal after an extraction?
The length of time to fully heal from an extraction varies between individuals. The healing time is also subject to the type of extraction procedure performed, simple or surgical. Generally, the complete healing of your gums after having a tooth removed will take about 4 to 6 weeks. The socket (space left in your jawbone) can take around 6 months to complete the formation of new bone and to fully heal.
What should I know about extraction aftercare?
Healing after a tooth extraction begins with blood clot formation and it is imperative that you do not do anything that could distort or disturb the clot. The following behaviors, especially performed in excess, should be avoided in the days and weeks following your extraction procedure:
- Spitting continuously
- Vigorous rinsing
- Eating or drinking very warm/hot food or drink
- Smoking
- Drinking alcohol
- Using straws
Avoiding the above behaviors protects you from possible complications following your extraction, the most common of which is called dry socket.
What is dry socket?
Dry socket is a condition that can occur after the extraction of a tooth. This complication occurs as a result of the blood clot that forms in the socket (empty space left behind in the jawbone) to protect the underlying bone and nerves becoming dislodged, damaged, or dissolved before the healing process is complete. As a result, the socket is left exposed which causes the following:
- Delayed healing time
- Severe pain and sensitivity
- Increased risk of infection
If you are experiencing intense pain, a dry-looking socket (no visible clot or dislodged clot), unpleasant taste, and/or bad breath, please contact our office immediately for treatment.
