How long will my face be swollen after tooth extraction?

Swelling after tooth extraction is normal and usually peaks within the first 48 hours. Most patients experience swelling for about 2–3 days, but it can vary. Applying ice and following post-op instructions can help reduce swelling and speed up recovery.

Can I brush my teeth after wisdom teeth removal?

Yes, you can brush your teeth, but be gentle around the extraction sites. Avoid brushing the area directly for the first few days to prevent disturbing the healing tissue. After a few days, you can resume your normal brushing routine, but avoid the extraction area until it fully heals.

Which is better biomimetic filling or composite filling?

Both biomimetic fillings and composite fillings are effective, but biomimetic fillings are designed to mimic the natural structure of your teeth more closely. They are reinforced with fiber mesh and bond strongly to the tooth, making them more durable and less likely to fracture over time compared to traditional composite fillings.

What is biomimetic dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry is a modern approach that focuses on restoring teeth with materials and techniques that replicate the natural properties of your teeth. It emphasizes preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible and provides long-lasting, functional restorations that reduce the need for invasive treatments.

Is Invisalign better than braces?

Invisalign offers a more discreet, comfortable, and flexible way to straighten your teeth compared to traditional braces. It uses clear aligners that are removable, allowing for easier maintenance of oral hygiene. However, braces may still be more effective for severe cases, depending on your specific needs. It’s best to consult with your dentist to determine the best option.

Is Invisalign painful?

Invisalign treatment is generally not painful, but you may experience some discomfort or pressure, especially after switching to a new set of aligners. This is normal and a sign that the aligners are working to move your teeth into place. The discomfort usually subsides within a few days.
