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 a great experience at Koslin & Kahn Oral and Facial Surgery. The staff were very kind and informative. I feel very satisfied with the work they've done and plan to return for any later oral surgery I need.
I was very happy and pleased with the services I was provided as well as the overall experience. I would and already have recommended Koslin & Kahn to my family and friends. Everyone at the clinic was very supportive and pleasant, thank you for treating me so well!
Dr. Denson and his team did a great job taking care of my daughter Sofia for her four wisdom teeth removal. From her pre-op to day of surgery, everything was explained well. He explained on what to expect and how to manage her pain. We really loved his staff and team. They were so friendly and professional. Overall she is recovering and healing nicely. Thank you for the great care that was provided to her!
I had surgery to repair a hole in my sinuses. This was causing me major grief. I was referred to Dr. Koslin. I traveled 4 hours to see him. He immediately scheduled surgery and everything is going great. I am still under his care. I would give him a 10/10. Awesome experience with him.
