What Is Pre-Prosthetic Surgery?
Pre-prosthetic dental surgery is a set of minor procedures aimed at preparing the jawbone and surrounding tissues for the successful placement of dentures. These procedures may involve reshaping the bone, removing excess gum tissue, or smoothing rough areas to ensure a more secure and comfortable fit for dentures. At Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery, we offer pre-prosthetic dental surgery to help patients achieve optimal results for their prosthetic dental needs. Contact one of our Hoover, Jasper, or Clanton, AL locations to schedule a consultation and learn more.
How Is Pre-Prosthetic Surgery Performed?
Pre-prosthetic surgery is customized to address your specific needs. At Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery, we begin by evaluating your jaw and utilizing advanced imaging to guide the treatment planning and procedure stages. We will discuss sedation and anesthesia options to ensure you are relaxed and comfortable throughout the process. The treatment may involve procedures such as bone and gum reduction, bone grafting, tooth extractions, or other minor oral surgeries. If necessary, sutures will be placed to protect the surgical areas during healing. We will provide a detailed treatment plan to ensure you understand each step of the process.
What Are the Benefits of Pre-Prosthetic Surgery?
Pre-prosthetic surgery provides numerous benefits to improve the fit and comfort of dentures. Additional advantages include:
- Increased denture stability
- Improved comfort by smoothing uneven bone
- Reduced risk of sores and irritation from dentures
- Enhanced ability to chew and speak
- Preparation of the jawbone for long-term denture use
Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery Reviews
Great experience all around from the front office to the surgeon & his staff. Pleasant conversation, professional, kind & funny even while extracting my tooth. Highly recommend Dr. Bannon & his staff.
I had an Apico procedure done on 6/26/25 by Dr. Koslin. He did a great job with my surgery! I would highly recommend him to anyone that need this kind of oral surgery done. His nurse was very polite and caring. Great experience!
In January I saw Dr. Kahn. He did an extraction of a broken tooth, and bone graph. Then in June Dr. Kahn placed my 2 implants.This is a great office. It has a steller staff and Fantastic Dr's.
I have such bad anxiety with dentists but everyone here made my experience so nice. I was so blessed to be in the hands of Dr. Kahn & his nurse Grace along with two other very sweet workers that I don’t remember their names. The place was very clean. I will say the receptionist at the front wasn’t too friendly but she wasn’t working on my teeth so oh well! If you need anything done teeth wise, this is place to come!
Great staff; great service!
