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 A R
The procedure was for my daughter but the staff and Dr. Bowman made everything comfortable and easy for my daughter. She had to go in alone, which was hard because she's 6 but she came out happy and excited to be done and a few days later said she didn't cry. The staff checked in on her later in the day and helped me understand a few things which I appreciated. Will definitely go back for any future procedures and will recommend for anyone looking.

Patient Review by Brooke P
The worst part of the experience I had was at the beginning. My mother was told over the phone that she couldn’t enter the building due to COVID 19 and was instructed to either stay out in the parking lot, or leave and return when the surgery was finished. About 15 minutes after she left, she received another call telling her that she needed to return to the center and come inside. Just confusing and slightly frustrating to be honest. But after that, the staff and overall experience was quite lovely. My concerns and questions were heard and weren’t just dismissed like other experiences I’ve lived through. That, and the few days after my surgery, the oral surgeon himself called me just to see how my recovery was going. So despite the rough and confusing start, I’d happily return.
