Question: how long does it take for the hole to close up after a tooth extraction?
Answer: In general, you can expect a tooth extraction to be 85% healed at 2 weeks, 90% healed at one mouth, and the final healing takes place over the following 3-6 months. The hole for a tooth extraction generally will begin to close around week 3 postoperatively and will be fully closed by week 4 to 6.
