Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
In San Jose, CA

Pre-prosthetic surgery is the process of preparing your mouth before placing a prosthesis. In some cases, minor oral surgical procedures may be necessary to ensure the highest level of comfort when receiving a partial or complete denture. It is crucial that the bone ridge is the correct shape and size to support the denture properly. If a tooth extraction leaves the underlying bone uneven or sharp, it may need to be smoothed or reshaped for the denture to fit correctly. Sometimes, excess bone may need to be removed before the denture can be inserted.
