Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

Pre-prosthetic surgery is a specialized field of oral surgery aimed at optimizing the mouth’s structure to enhance the fit, function, and aesthetics of dental prosthetics such as dentures or implants. At Oral Surgery + Lafayette, our expert oral surgeons perform a range of procedures to ensure the best possible foundation for prosthetic treatment.

Common Pre-Prosthetic Procedures

• Ridge Augmentation: This procedure involves adding bone or soft tissue to reshape and enhance the alveolar ridge, improving the stability and fit of dentures or implants.
• Bone Grafting: Used to rebuild lost or resorbed bone, bone grafting strengthens the jaw for successful dental implant placement and long-term prosthetic support.
• Sinus Lift Surgery: Also known as sinus augmentation, this procedure raises the sinus floor to allow for bone grafting in the upper jaw, creating a stable base for implants.
• Soft Tissue Grafting: This treatment restores lost or receded gum tissue to improve aesthetics and provide essential support for dental prosthetics.
• Tooth Extractions: In cases where damaged or compromised teeth affect prosthetic treatment, extractions may be necessary to prepare for a new dental restoration.
