Pre-Prosthetic Surgery in St. John's

Pre-prosthetic surgery refers to any form of oral or maxillofacial surgery that helps to prepare your mouth for a partial or complete denture. A denture sits on the bone ridge, so it is very important that the bone is the proper shape and size to ensure comfort and oral health. Some of the most common procedures are:

• Bone smoothing and reshaping
• Removal of excess bone
• Bone ridge reduction
• Removal of excess gum tissue
• Exposure of impacted teeth

Consult with your dentist to determine what kind of treatment is right for you.
