just to let you know ,since i last e.mailed you ,and ask if this is usual that a couple of slithers of fine bone has come out of the lump of flesh that is attached to my front gum where i had my front tooth  out the lump has gone from red to white does this mean the lump is getting better and will go away i have just finished my antibiotics.regards from sylvia c

tissue matureation takes a min. of 6-8 weeks and the bone reconfiguration under will take 4-5 months. that means that in 4-5 months you will need to redo the inside of your denture as there will be accelerated reshaping under the gums..so much that the fit of your denture will be effected.. So be patient..healing a is a process, not an event.

All the best.
