Preparing the Mouth for a Prosthesis
Pre-prosthetic surgery refers to procedures performed to prepare the mouth for dentures or other prosthetic appliances. In some cases, the gums and bone may need to be reshaped or refined in order to create a more stable, comfortable, and functional foundation for a prosthesis. At South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery, pre-prosthetic surgery is carefully tailored to support long-term comfort and improved fit.
Where Fit Problems Start
A well-fitting prosthesis begins with a healthy and properly contoured oral foundation. When excess bone, uneven ridges, or soft tissue irregularities interfere with that fit, patients may experience discomfort, instability, or difficulty wearing their prosthetic appliance successfully. Pre-prosthetic surgery helps address those concerns before the final restoration is made.
More Than Replacing Teeth
At South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery, we understand that oral rehabilitation is about more than replacing teeth — it is about restoring confidence, stability, and quality of life. Pre-prosthetic surgery helps create the conditions needed for a more secure and comfortable final result.
