Your dentist will clean the socket and the tooth. Then the dentist will position the tooth back into place. The dentist will splint the knocked out tooth to the teeth on either side with composite material or wire. This will hold the tooth in place until it reattaches firmly to the bone. Your dentist will decide when perform a root canal. It will normally take three to four weeks for the tooth to heal.
Your dentist will examine the tooth again in three months to check if there are signs of infection. Be sure to follow up for the next one to two years to ensure that the tooth is healthy and the implant successful.
