After a wisdom tooth is removed, a blood clot forms in the empty socket to protect the bone and help healing. If that clot becomes dislodged or dissolves too soon, it leaves the bone exposed. This painful condition is called dry socket.

To avoid dry socket, follow the instructions provided by our doctors, including:
- Don’t smoke, v**e, or use straws while healing.
- Avoid spitting forcefully or rinsing too hard.
- Stick to soft foods for the first few days.

Dry socket is uncommon, and most people heal without issues. If any problems arise in your recovery, don't hesitate to reach out: (309) 663-2526

If you’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis and are considering full arch implants to replace missing teeth, you may be wondering whether your bone health rules you out as a candidate. The good news is that many patients with osteoporosis can still be excellent candidates for full arch implants, thanks to their innovative design.

Because full arch implants are strategically placed in areas of stronger bone, they can provide a stable and lasting foundation even when bone density is reduced. With advanced imaging, careful planning, and an experienced surgical team, osseointegration (the process by which the implant fuses with bone) can still be achieved successfully in many patients with mild to moderate osteoporosis. Schedule an appointment to see if you're a candidate: (309) 663-2526

What makes oral and maxillofacial surgeons true specialists in the dental field? We must complete a rigorous education and training program that includes dental school, residency, and board certification. Our multi-year hospital-based residencies often take place alongside other surgical specialists. This experience provides exposure to a wide range of cases, from trauma to reconstructive surgery, and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration to deliver optimal patient care. If you need oral surgery, trust the experts. Call to schedule an appointment: (309) 663-2526
