Preprosthetic Surgery is a set of surgical procedures that prepare the mouth’s hard and soft tissues to support dental prosthetics, such as dentures or implants. It is often necessary after tooth loss, trauma, or bone resorption to create a stable, comfortable foundation. These procedures may include smoothing the jawbone, removing bony growths, correcting soft tissue irregularities, or grafting bone to strengthen the jaw. The ultimate goal is to improve denture retention, restore oral function, and enhance facial appearance for a more effective and comfortable dental restoration.

Preprosthetic Surgery begins with a detailed examination and imaging to evaluate the jaw and soft tissue condition. Based on clinical needs, procedures such as alveoloplasty (reshaping the jawbone), frenectomy (removal of restrictive tissue bands), or vestibuloplasty (deepening of the gum area) may be performed. In cases of bone deficiency or irregular growths, bone grafting or exostosis removal may be necessary. The surgery is typically done under local or general anesthesia. After healing, the oral structures become more stable and suited to support a denture or implant securely and comfortably.

Q1: What is Preprosthetic Surgery and why is it needed?
