How long does the hole take to close?

While the gum tissue usually closes up within a few weeks, the bone underneath can take several months to heal fully. Your dentist will monitor this during your follow-up visits.

Can I eat right after the extraction?

You should wait until the numbness has completely worn off before eating to avoid biting your cheek or tongue. Stick to soft, cool foods for the first day or two.
