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.
