The Healing Process

By: Smileway Dental

When there is an irritation to our body, our body goes through changes. It protects itself from harmful substances. Our body has its own self defense mechanism to eliminate harmful substances that has penetrated into our body system. It works very hard to get rid of bacteria or viruses that should not be in our body. Although our body has its own miracles but it needs time to eliminate those harmful substances. This process is what we call the healing process.

In SmileWay USJ Dental Clinic, when we have a surgery performed, or even a tooth extraction. We do not expect it to totally heal in just few hours or even the day after. It takes time for the body to adapt to the change and heal accordingly. For example a surgical extraction of the wisdom tooth will take around 1 or even 2 weeks to heal. Although gum healing are faster, but total healing can take as long as 3-4 months as your body needs to regenerate new bone formation.

Another example would be dental implants. After extraction and if a dental implant is unable to be placed immediately, it might take around 4 months for the body to heal and form new bone so for a dental implant can be placed. For now there isn’t any magic in a pill, and it takes time for the body to heal and adapt to the change. That is why planning ahead is very important in any treatment so that precious time are not wasted during and after the process.

In order to save a tooth, sometimes a root canal treatment may be needed. A root canal treated tooth takes times to heal. In the first visit the tooth canals are cleaned and medication is placed to help eliminate the bacteria that are around the tooth. Sometimes we have to leave the medication till as long as 1 month before finishing the treatment for Root canal treatment. If the bacteria are not eliminated, in the 2nd visit medication needs to be place again and wait for a longer healing period.

Each of us have different immune system and the ability for full healing may differ from different individuals. Some people may heal faster while others may take longer period of time. Just like some people are more prone to dental cavities while others are not. Most importantly during healing process is not to rush and allow the body to heal accordingly. Do keep in mind to work with your doctor as your doctor knows what to do, either to speed up the healing process or to sooth the process.

  I recently had an appointment at Smileway Dental Clinic to address a persistent dental issue that had been causing me considerable discomfort.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere of the clinic was warm and welcoming, which helped to alleviate some of my anxiety. Dr. Lisa took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the procedure to me, which helped to alleviate my fears. Her calming demeanour and gentle approach immediately put me at ease.

The surgery itself was surprisingly painless, thanks to Dr. Lisa's expertise and skillful technique. She was incredibly patient and attentive throughout the entire procedure, constantly checking in to make sure I was comfortable and pain-free.

Overall, my experience at Smileway Dental Clinic was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Lisa and her team exceeded my expectations in every way, providing me with top-notch dental care in a compassionate and supportive environment. I highly recommend Smileway Dental Clinic to anyone in need of dental services, especially those who may be anxious or fearful about visiting the dentist.

  The response from time of my asking for an appointment (though last minute) was handled well. Staff was ensuring that if I couldn't make the 5pm appointed time then she offered to reschedule.  So I did for the next day. Dr Edwin was super nice and gave options to see that my swollen due to infection gum was treated with care. I only visit this clinic because of its professionalism.  Cheers guys and keep up the great job ! Thanks.

  People with dental phobia like me have an awareness that the fear is totally irrational, but with extensive experience in the field of dentistry, Dr Lisa provides efficient and compassionate patient care. I just had my tooth extraction this morning and it was painless.... Furthermore Dr Lisa are very attentive and explain things very thoroughly without pushing for unnecessary treatment. Thank you so much Dr Lisa 🙏
