That\u2019s what pre-prosthetic oral surgery is: the mouth prep before your partial or complete dentures are placed. When you undergo the surgery before your dentures, you\u2019re able to enjoy a better fit and greater comfort overall.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nPre-prosthetic surgery is necessary to receive the best fitting, best looking denture possible. It can consist of a variety of procedures, including:\n\n&nbsp;\n<ul>\n \t<li>Smoothing or reshaping the bone: When your teeth are removed to make room for the dentures, your jawbone can be affected. In order to have a smooth, stable base for your new replacement teeth, a procedure we call alveoloplasty may be necessary. That just means we reshape the structures that support the teeth to help them better support the denture.<\/li>\n \t<li>Removing extra bone. If you have so much jawbone that it prevents the denture from fitting well, it may be best to remove it for an excellent seal.<\/li>\n \t<li>Removing excess gum tissue. Just like with the bone, too much gum tissue can also interfere with the proper fit of dentures. A laser treatment may be performed over several visits to ensure proper gum healing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Choose Pre-Prosthetic Oral Surgery for Great Fit and Maximum Comfort<\/h2>\nOur patients who choose pre-prosthetic oral surgery before their partial or complete dentures consistently confirm what we already know &#8212; it\u2019s an important step for the most comfortable, best fitting denture possible.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nPre-prosthetic oral surgery can help patients who currently have dentures and need a refitting, or those who are preparing for their very first denture placement.
