Pre-Denture & Dental Prosthetic Treatments

Lighthouse Point Oral Surgeon

Pre-prosthetic dental surgery includes any type of dental surgery that is needed in order to prepare the mouth for the placement of a prosthetic device. This type of surgery is often necessary for people who have lost all or most of their teeth due to injury, disease, or age. The most common type of pre-prosthetic dental surgery is tooth extractions. Other types of pre-prosthetic dental surgery include ridge augmentation, sinus lifts, and alveolar bone grafting. At the Oral Surgery Center of Lighthouse Point in FL, we can successfully treat patients using all the above services!

Signs You Need a Dental Prosthetic

There are a few signs that may indicate you need a dental prosthetic:

If you have lost one or more teeth, a dental prosthetic can help to improve your smile and make it easier to eat and speak.

If you have teeth that are cracked, chipped, or damaged, a dental prosthetic can help to protect them from further damage and improve your smile.

If you have teeth that are discolored or misshapen, a dental prosthetic can help to improve the appearance of your smile.

If you have trouble eating or speaking due to missing teeth, a dental prosthetic can help to make these activities easier.

The Pre-Prosthetic Preparation Process

The first step in the pre-prosthetic preparation process is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jennifer Schaumberg. During this consultation, she will examine your mouth and discuss your goals for treatment. Once it is determined that you are a good candidate for pre-prosthetic surgery, Dr. Schaumberg will develop a personalized treatment plan.

This treatment plan will detail the specific type of surgery that is needed and how it will be performed. Common types of prosthetic surgeries include:

Tooth extractions: This type of surgery is often needed to remove damaged or decayed teeth. It may also be necessary to remove teeth that are in the way of the placement of a dental prosthetic.

Ridge augmentation: This type of surgery is used to build up the bone in the jaw so that it can support a dental prosthetic.

Sinus lifts: This type of surgery is used to raise the sinus cavity so that it does not interfere with the placement of a dental prosthetic.

Alveolar bone grafting: This type of surgery is used to rebuild the bone in the jaw so that it can support a dental prosthetic.
