Healing After Extraction

Healing After Extraction

I had my teeth extracted for dentures, 21 teeth total. 11 on the top (including one wisdom) and 10 on the bottom. I had this done 5-7-09, and they are still not completely healed. I was wondering what the average heal time is, and if wearing my dentures is preventing them from closing all the way and healing.

Thank You

Well, it has been almost 7 weeks I believe. I am using adhesive and I wonder if that is the problem. I am 33, and my overall health is good aside from smoking. I do have bone pieces coming out, but was told that was normal. The condition of the teeth was pretty bad, they were broken and had cavities, that was why they were pulled.
