Pre-prosthetic Surgery
The process of preparing your mouth before the placement of prosthesis is known as pre-prosthetic surgery. In some cases, you may need minor oral procedures before receiving a partial or complete denture. This ensures you experience the maximum level of comfort.
Preparing your mouth before the placement of a prosthesis
From removing your excess bone to exposing impacted teeth, you can trust our qualified surgeon to provide you with the ultimate pre-prosthetic care.
Before dentures are placed:
- Bone smoothing
- Bone reshaping
- Bone ridge reduction
- Excess gum tissue removal
- Impacted teeth exposure
Quality care
A denture sits on the bone ridge. This makes it important that every bone is in the proper shape and size. When a tooth is in need of extraction it may leave the underlying bone sharp or uneven. For the best fit of a denture, your bone may need to be smoothed out or reshaped.
