Pre-prosthetic surgery prepares the mouth for optimal restorative outcomes. Before receiving dentures, implant-supported prosthetics, or other restorative appliances, the underlying bone and soft tissue must provide a stable and healthy foundation.
Irregular bone, excess tissue, or anatomical challenges can compromise the fit and longevity of a prosthetic if not properly addressed.
Common Pre-Prosthetic Procedures
- Alveoloplasty – smoothing and reshaping jawbone ridges
- Bone grafting – rebuilding bone volume for implant support
- Tissue recontouring – removing excess or uneven gum tissue
- Frenectomy – releasing tight muscle attachments
These procedures enhance stability, comfort, and aesthetic outcomes. By correcting structural irregularities, we improve prosthetic fit and reduce irritation, sore spots, and long-term complications.
