Extractions & Surgery – Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

The mouth preparation for complete dentures 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.
