Understanding

What Is Pre-Prosthetic Surgery and Why Is It Needed?

Pre-prosthetic surgery prepares the mouth for full or partial dentures. It involves reshaping the bone and soft tissue to ensure the best possible fit and long-term comfort for your prosthesis.

What Is Pre-Prosthetic Surgery?

Common procedures include smoothing or reshaping the jawbone, removing excess tissue, or exposing impacted teeth. These adjustments help create a better surface for denture support.

When Is This Procedure Recommended?

Patients who are about to receive new dentures but have anatomical issues—such as sharp ridges, excess bone, or undercuts—may be referred for pre-prosthetic surgery to improve prosthetic stability.

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Dr. Michel will evaluate your bone and gum anatomy using scans. Procedures are typically done under local or IV sedation. Healing is quick, and denture fitting can begin once tissues stabilize.
