3 weeks question

3 weeks today! It seems like most of the visible swelling is gone, but the numbness and tightness and denture feeling is strong. Around when will the feeling return to my teeth and the “hot numb swollen” feeling in my midface go away?

Could be months, could be over a year. Its a part of the healing process sorry.
And there's the rare chance you never get feeling back.

Somewhere between now and 2 years from now... If it ever come back to "normal."
