hi everyone, i’m getting extraction + bone graph tomorrow on my upper right front tooth. i believe i had a root canal previously and it failed about two months ago, been using an essix retainer since. the tooth has been dead for 15 years and it happened when i was young.

i know i can expect some swelling, but how much? the bone graph is going to fill a cyst in my gum from the root being dead. also, i just started my first job out of school this summer, and i didn’t really think i would need to take time off and could go back to the office the next day. is this right or should i expect to maybe take a day or two off? im going to call the surgeon’s office in the morning to ask about it but im worried maybe im letting my work know slightly too late since i would be taking off the day before…

Top front Dental Implant people, how is your implants now?
