What is Pre-Prosthetic Surgery?
Patients may choose to have a partial or complete denture fitted if they have had one or more teeth extracted. Dentures are oral prostheses fitted to rest on the bony ridge of your mouth. They act as artificial yet functional tooth replacements. For dentures to fit comfortably and to ensure the shape and size of your mouth are maintained, pre-prosthetic surgery may be required to reshape or smooth your teeth, ensuring a comfortable and efficient fit.
Pre-prosthetic surgery can include reshaping or smoothing the jaw bone, removing excess bone or gum tissue, or reducing the bony ridge. The type of surgery needed will depend on your specific condition. All these procedures are done in the safety and comfort of our oral surgery offices, located in San Francisco, California.
