Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

Pre - Prosthetic Surgery treatment in Dhakuria

Pre-prosthetic Surgery focuses on the preparation of the mouth before placement of any prosthesis, such as dental implants. The ultimate goal of Pre-prosthetic Surgery is to restore facial form and oral function by providing a better anatomic environment and creating proper support structures for denture construction. This involves improving or restoring both facial and dental aesthetics. Very often, minor surgeries are required to ensure the implants are placed securely and comfortably. Most interventions aim at reshaping or removing excess bone ridges in the mouth to their appropriate size and shape to fit partial or complete dentures properly when worn.

FAQ's

During your first consultation, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon will have a detailed evaluation and discussion on the onset of symptoms, past medical and family history, assessing smoking and alcohol use, and recording your general health status. Surgeons will then pay attention to your oral hygiene and look for any signs of infection. In the case of Pre-prosthetic Surgery, imaging scans are advised, such as X-rays or computer tomography (scans), to assess any bony growth. Based on the report and examination of imaging scans, treatment plans are discussed, along with anaesthesia assessment, risks and complications, and post-operative instructions.

Pre-prosthetic Surgery is determined based on individual oral needs, some of which include:

  • Abnormal bone development

  • Shrinkage of jawbone due to tooth loss

  • Excess gum tissues

  • Irregular alignment of the tooth

  • Skeletal deformities or tissue damage of the oral regions

  • Individuals with insufficient jaw bone density

  • Problems related to prosthetic fits

Some procedures that are involved in Pre-prosthetic Surgeries include:

  • Hyperplastic Replacement in jawbones that are shrunk due to tooth loss

  • Frenectomy or Frenuloplasty procedures for comfortable placements of dental implants

  • Removal of excess bone, such as Torus Reduction

  • Bone reshaping or smoothing, called Alveoloplasty

  • Vestibuloplasty and Ridge Augmentation, which include Superior Border Augmentation and Inferior Border Augmentation, address problems related to mandibles and the enlargement of denture-bearing areas.

  • Gingivectomy, characterised by the removal of excess gum tissue

  • Removal of misaligned or impacted teeth

Our surgeons will notify you with personalised instructions regarding preparing yourself for Pre-prosthetic Surgery. General instructions, however, include:

  • Avoid medications, such as blood thinners

  • Planning your transportation to and from the hospital

  • Some Pre-prosthetic Surgeries may require a hospital stay and are decided based on the severity of your condition. Therefore, arrange clothing and comfort items for your stay at the hospital

  • Quit smoking or chewing tobacco for at least one week before and after your Pre-prosthetic procedure

  • Ask questions and address your concerns and worries to minimise any stress or anxiety during the procedure

Surgeons perform Pre-prosthetic surgeries by taking into account the type of surgery needed to address, the type of technique, grafting material if needed and the type of anaesthesia required. Local or general anaesthesia will be administered during the procedure to alleviate pain and discomfort that may occur during the procedure. Based on your condition, removal, smoothening, reshaping or replacement procedures will be done to fit your dental implants. Incisions made are then closed with sutures, and the individual is transferred to the recovery room for further observation.

Recovery time for patients undergoing Pre-prosthetic Surgery may vary from patient to patient. However, it might take six weeks for surgical areas to be healed. Moreover, full bone healing after surgery may take about 12 weeks. Our specialists will provide detailed instructions on your expected recovery period, along with post-care instructions.

Possible complications or risks that may occur during or after Pre-prosthetic surgeries include:

  • Bleeding

  • Swelling or pain at the site

  • Infection

  • Problems in wound healing

  • Nerve damage

  • Allergy or adverse effects of anaesthesia

  • Bone-related problems

It is essential to know that potential complications of the procedure will depend on the patient's overall health and can outweigh the benefits. Our specialists will inform you regarding any complications based on your condition and health status and will ensure timely intervention and assistance.
