Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
The preparation of your mouth before the placement of a prosthesis is referred to as pre-prosthetic surgery.
When Do You Need Pre-Prosthetic Surgery?
Some patients require minor oral surgical procedures before receiving a partial or complete denture, in order to ensure the maximum level of comfort. A denture sits on the bone ridge, so it is very important that the bone is the proper shape and size. If a tooth needs to be extracted, the underlying bone might be left sharp and uneven. For the best fit of a denture, the bone might need to be smoothed out or reshaped. Occasionally, excess bone would need to be removed prior to denture insertion.
Types of Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
One or more of the following procedures might need to be performed 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.

Patient Review by Dwight O
The overall experience was really great! The staff was professional and pleasant. This was a very peaceful office atmosphere to calm my nerves. The appointment was easy to schedule and convenient to my schedule. Dr Bowman was Great as well and removed my problematic wisdom tooth with minimal pain and swelling. He was thorough in his exam and pleasant and set my nervousness at ease. It is 3 days post op and I have no pain or problems. HIs post op instructions were thorough and easily understood. I will use Dr Bowman again and enthusiastically recommend him to my friends. Good Job!!!
