Pre-prosthetic Surgery

The preparation of your mouth before the placement of a prosthesis is referred to as pre-prosthetic surgery.

In order to ensure the maximum level of comfort, some patients require minor oral surgical procedures before receiving a partial or complete denture.  

One or more of the following procedures might need to be performed by an Oral Surgeon in order to prepare your mouth for a denture:

• Bone smoothing and reshaping
• Removal of excess bone.
• Bone ridge reduction.
• Removal of excess gum tissue.
• Exposure of impacted teeth.

We will review your particular needs with you during your appointment.
