Many patients in Vijayawada struggle with dentures that feel loose, painful, or unstable. While denture design is important, the condition of the jawbone and gums plays a much bigger role in comfort and long-term success.

At YOUR DENTIST Advanced Dental & Maxillo-Facial Centre, we offer advanced pre-prosthetic surgery to reshape the jawbone and soft tissues — creating a stable, comfortable foundation for dentures or dental prosthetics with lasting results.

What Is Pre-Prosthetic Surgery?

Pre-prosthetic surgery includes minor oral surgical procedures performed before placing dentures or prosthetic teeth.Its goal is to correct bone and soft-tissue irregularities that can interfere with denture fit.

This preparation helps ensure:

• Better denture stability

• Improved comfort while chewing

• Fewer sore spots

• Longer-lasting prosthetics

Why Many Denture Wearers in Vijayawada Need It?

After tooth loss, the jawbone naturally shrinks and reshapes. Over time, this can lead to:

• Uneven or sharp bone

• Reduced ridge height

• Excess or mobile gum tissue

• Poor denture retention

Without correcting these issues, dentures may never feel comfortable — no matter how many adjustments are made.

Common Pre-Prosthetic Procedures We Perform

Depending on your condition, treatment may include:

• Alveoloplasty (Bone Smoothing): Removes sharp or irregular bone edges

• Removal of Bony Growths (Tori/Exostoses): Clears obstacles that prevent proper denture seating

• Soft Tissue Correction: Trims excess or mobile tissue for better stability

• Frenectomy (If Required): Releases muscle pull that dislodges dentures

Each plan is customized after clinical evaluation.

How the Procedure Is Performed?

Pre-prosthetic surgery is:

• Done under local anesthesia

• Painless during the procedure

• Completed in about 30–60 minutes

Patients usually go home the same day with simple post-operative instructions.

Recovery and Healing

• Mild swelling for a few days

• Soft diet recommended initially

• Maintain oral hygiene

• Avoid pressure on the surgical site

Healing typically completes in 2–4 weeks, after which dentures or prosthetics can be placed or adjusted for a much better fit.

Is Pre-Prosthetic Surgery Safe?

Yes.When performed by an experienced Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, it is a safe and predictable procedure with excellent outcomes.
