What Is Pre-Prosthetic Dental Surgery?
Pre-prosthetic dental surgery is a specialized procedure designed to prepare the mouth for a comfortable and secure denture or other dental prosthetic. At Roden Oral, Facial, and Dental Implant Surgery, board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons Dr. R. David Roden Jr. and Dr. Rocklin Alling perform pre-prosthetic surgery to reshape the jawbone, remove excess tissue, or smooth irregular bone surfaces. This process ensures that dentures fit properly and comfortably, reducing irritation and enhancing long-term function. If you need pre-prosthetic surgery, our experienced team is here to help optimize your oral health for a stable and natural-looking restoration. Contact us in Birmingham, AL to learn more.
How Is Pre-Prosthetic Surgery Performed?
Dr. Roden or Dr. Alling will start by performing an evaluation of the mouth to determine the specific adjustments needed. If the jawbone is uneven or has sharp ridges, one of our oral surgeons will contour and smooth the bone to create a stable base. If there is excess gum tissue, it may be removed to ensure the prosthetic fits securely. In some cases, remaining teeth may need to be extracted to facilitate the proper alignment and fit of dentures. They may also perform bone grafts if the jawbone is insufficient to support a prosthetic. Once the necessary adjustments are made, the gums and jawbone are given time to heal, ensuring a comfortable and stable foundation for the final prosthetic.
What Are the Benefits of Pre-Prosthetic Surgery?
Pre-prosthetic surgery offers several key benefits to ensure the successful placement of dentures or other dental prosthetics, including:
- Creates a stable foundation for dental prosthetics
- Improves the fit and comfort of dentures
- Reduces the risk of complications such as discomfort or movement
- Enhances the overall appearance and functionality of the prosthetic
- Promotes faster healing and recovery after the procedure
- Increases the longevity and effectiveness of the prosthetic solution
Roden Oral, Facial, and Dental Implant Surgery Reviews
I have had 2 children have wisdom teeth removed here. The staff are all very kind and friendly. The Dr follows up the next day. I would recommend to anyone needing an oral surgeon to come here !
I had a great experience at Roden Oral Surgery. The results were great and recovery was minimal. Dr. Roden’s staff is very professional and I would definitively recommend.
Dr. Roden and his entire team, from the moment I walked into the office until the moment that I walked out were all kind, helpful, calming and informative. His team explained clearly what they were doing, why, when and what to expect. They were kind, gentle and compassionate. If you or anyone you know who has a need for anything with oral surgery, you should come to this practice for care. You will be amazed beyond belief. I am grateful for all of their care and helping me with my needs.
My experience was great. I felt comfortable the entire time I was there. Everyone was very professional as well as friendly. Dr Roden took time to discuss options with me and answered all my questions. Upon leaving directions were very easy to understand. I will recommend Dr. Roden to everyone.
Dr. Roden is amazing! Him and his staff make you feel like family from start to finish. Everything went smoothly. I have gotten my wisdom teeth removed by him, and most recently had a dental implant put in. Both were very easy for recovery. The implant I have almost felt no pain... that's how you know you have a great surgeon. The staff makes you feel calm before the surgery, and answers all questions. Dr. Roden has called me after both procedures to check on how I was feeling. He is truly the best, and I recommend him to all my friends and family!!!
