Appointment Helpline
Preparation of the mouth before the placement of a prosthesis (like dentures). It ensures that the prosthesis fits comfortably and functions optimally. It involves the removal of excess bone, the reduction of bony ridges, or the levelling of bone.
Bone Smoothing and Reshaping (Alveoloplasty)
After administering a local anaesthetic, incisions are made in the gums to expose the underlying bone. Excess bone is removed, and rough spots are smoothed out. The gums are then sutured back.
Removal of Excess Bone (Torus Reduction)
Tori, which are bony growths in the jaw, can interfere with prosthetics. They are removed by making an incision in the mucosa, exposing the torus, and then chiselling or burring away the excess bone.
Sometimes, after tooth extraction, the remaining bone might be sharp or uneven, unsuitable for a denture or bridge. The bone is smoothed out to ensure comfort and proper fitting of the prosthetic.
