Here's what you need to know about documentation in Ontario. ### Common Dental Procedures and Recovery Times | Procedure | Recovery Time | Note Duration | |---|---|---| | Wisdom teeth (simple) | 2-3 days | 3 days | | Wisdom teeth (impacted) | 5-7 days | 1 week | | Dental implants | 3-5 days | 5 days | | Root canal | 1-2 days | 1-2 days | | Jaw surgery | 2-6 weeks | As needed | ### Who Provides the Note?
