Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

Some patients require minor oral surgical procedures before receiving a partial or complete denture in order to ensure the maximum level of comfort. A denture sits on the bone ridge, so it is very important that the bone is the proper shape and size. If a tooth needs to be extracted, the underlying bone might be sharp and uneven. For the best fit of a denture, the bone might need to be smoothed or reshaped. Occasionally, excess bone may need to be removed prior to denture insertion.

There are procedures that can be performed to make full denture more retentive and stable without the help of dental implants.  Most of these procedures can well be covered by your dental and medical insurance instead of dental implants.
