Pre-Prosthetic Procedures: Optimizing Prosthetic Fit

Pre-prosthetic surgery, offered by our oral and maxillofacial surgeons, is a broad term for specialized procedures aimed at preparing the mouth for the successful placement of dental prosthetics such as dentures or dental implants. This type of surgery is typically recommended when there are irregularities in the jawbone structure, excess gum tissue, or other issues that may affect the fit, stability, or comfort of prosthetic devices.

Common pre-prosthetic surgeries include bone grafting to augment areas of bone loss, reshaping or smoothing of the jawbone to create a better foundation for prosthetics, or removal of excess tissue to improve the fit of dentures. By addressing these concerns before prosthetic placement, pre-prosthetic surgery ensures optimal outcomes, enhanced comfort, and improved functionality of dental prosthetics. If you're considering dental prosthetics or have been experiencing difficulties with your current prosthetic devices, our skilled oral and maxillofacial surgery team can provide a comprehensive evaluation and recommend personalized pre-prosthetic surgical solutions to meet your needs.
