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 Kalie W.

I have never had any type of surgery before, so going to get my wisdom teeth out was scary for me! Dr. Bowman and his staff made me feel comfortable while I was there. Afterwards, a staff member called to check on me. The next day (Saturday) Dr. Bowman himself called to check on me. Caring staff.
