How long before you can return to work after getting teeth pulled and dentures?

Soon: Depending on the difficulty of the extraction and the type oof work you do, one could probably return to work the following day if the work is not very physical.

No reason you cannot: Return to work the next day, unless there were some unforeseen complications encountered and the dentist advised you to be off for a certain period of time. If your job entails physical labor (heavy lifting, chain saws ...) and you are on medications that make your drowsy, etc, then those activities cannot be performed. These things should be discussed with your dentist prior to treatment.

Days: Most often people can return to work in a few days. If your job is talking all day long, then maybe a few more to get comfortable speaking all day. Depends largely on your mind set.

1-3 days: It depends on your level of swelling and comfort. If you use ice in the first 24 hours swelling will be greatly diminished. Keep your denture in all the time the first 24 hours and remove them only to clean in the following 7 days. After that remove them nightly to allow the gums a chance to rest.

A day or 2: Most of my patients are back to work the following day as long as the denture fits well. The discomfort is minimal and as long as the general dentist is able to see the patient the next morning and make adjustments, they can go to work. Some others take an extra day to recoverdenture.
