Alveoloplasty in Westlake, TX
Smoothing and reshaping the jaw ridge after tooth removal, so what comes next fits comfortably and looks right.
What Is Alveoloplasty?
Alveoloplasty is the surgical smoothing and reshaping of the alveolar ridge, the bony arch that once held your teeth. After extractions, that ridge is often left uneven, with sharp edges or bony points that can make a denture or restoration uncomfortable.
The procedure gently contours the bone into a smooth, even shape. It is frequently done at the same time as extractions, so the jaw heals already prepared for what comes next, whether that is dentures, a bridge, or implants. The result is a foundation that fits better and feels better from the start.
A Smoother Ridge, a Better Fit
Reshaping sharp or uneven bone removes the pressure points that cause sore spots under a denture or restoration.
Alveoloplasty is frequently performed at the same time as tooth removal, so the ridge heals already shaped for your future restoration.
An even ridge heals into a stable, predictable base, setting up a final result that fits well and lasts.
The Alveoloplasty Process at Stone Dental Implant Center
1. Consultation & 3D Scan
A 3D scan and evaluation show the shape of your ridge and any sharp or uneven areas that need reshaping before a restoration.
2. Planning the Reshaping
Dr. Stone plans exactly where the ridge needs smoothing, often coordinating it with any extractions so it is handled in one visit.
3. Reshaping the Ridge
The bone is carefully contoured into a smooth, even arch in a precise procedure under sedation matched to your comfort.
4. Healing
The ridge heals over the following weeks into the stable, even foundation your prosthesis will rest on.
5. On to Your Restoration
Once healed, the ridge is ready for your dentures, bridge, or implants, fitted to a foundation built to hold them comfortably.
