Extractions & Surgery – Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

The preparation of your mouth before the placement of a prosthesis is referred to as pre-prosthetic surgery. Some patients may require minor oral surgery treatment before receiving a partial or complete denture in order to ensure the maximum level of comfort. This treatment may involve one or more of the following procedures:


• Extraction of teeth

• Exposure of impacted teeth

• Smoothing and reshaping of bone

• Bony ridge reduction

• Removal of excess gum tissue

• Bone or soft tissue grafting to optimize ridge shape and/or dimensions

In some cases dental implants may represent a more viable treatment option than a denture.
