Pre-Prosthetic Surgery in Westlake, TX
Preparing a smooth, stable foundation so your implants or dentures fit and feel right from day one.
What Is Pre-Prosthetic Surgery?
Pre-prosthetic surgery is the preparation that happens before dentures or an implant-supported restoration is placed. After teeth are lost or removed, the jaw is rarely a perfectly smooth, even surface. Sharp ridges, bony bumps, or excess gum tissue can keep a prosthesis from sitting comfortably.
These procedures reshape and smooth the bone and soft tissue so the final restoration has a stable, even base. The goal is simple: a foundation that fits well, feels comfortable, and lets your new teeth function the way they should, without sore spots or a loose fit.
A Better Fit Starts With a Better Foundation
Smoothing ridges and removing bony bumps means your denture or restoration sits evenly, without the sore spots an uneven jaw can cause.
Reshaping the bone and tissue gives the prosthesis a solid surface to rest on, so it stays secure and functions reliably.
Preparing the foundation properly helps your final teeth look natural and last, rather than fighting against an uneven ridge.
The Pre-Prosthetic Process at Stone Dental Implant Center
1. Consultation & 3D Scan
A 3D scan and full evaluation show the shape of your ridge, any bony irregularities, and exactly what needs reshaping before your restoration.
2. Planning the Preparation
Dr. Stone identifies what each area needs, whether smoothing bone, reducing a ridge, removing bony growths, or adjusting soft tissue.
3. Reshaping the Foundation
The bone and tissue are carefully recontoured in a precise procedure under sedation matched to your comfort, creating an even, stable base.
4. Healing
The area heals over the following weeks, settling into the smooth foundation your prosthesis will rest on.
5. On to Your Restoration
Once healed, the site is ready for your dentures or implant-supported teeth, fitted to a foundation built to hold them well.
Why Choose Stone Dental Implant Center for Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
The quality of a final restoration depends on the foundation beneath it. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Stone prepares that foundation and, when implants follow, places them herself, with the finished result in mind from the start.
