Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

Pre-Prosthetic Surgery is a crucial dental procedure that helps prepare your mouth for prosthetic devices like dentures or dental implants. At Yellich & Salehpour Oral Surgery in Monterey, our team, led by Dr. Yellich and Dr. Salehpour, specializes in this advanced surgical technique to ensure your comfort and the long-term success of your prosthetic teeth. Let's explore the ins and outs of Pre-Prosthetic Surgery and how it can improve your oral health.

Why Might I Need Pre-Prosthetic Surgery?

Several reasons might necessitate Pre-Prosthetic Surgery:

• Bone Resorption: Over time, the bone structure in your jaw may change, making it difficult for dentures or dental implants to fit securely. Pre-Prosthetic Surgery can address bone loss and create a stable foundation.
• Extraction Sites: After tooth extraction, the resulting socket can be uneven or sharp. Pre-Prosthetic Surgery smoothes and shapes these areas to enhance prosthetic fitting.‍
• Oral Pathologies: Conditions like cysts or tumors may require surgical removal before prosthetic placement.

Undergoing Pre-Prosthetic Surgery at Yellich & Salehpour Oral Surgery in Monterey offers numerous benefits:

• Improved Fit: The surgery ensures a snug and comfortable fit for your prosthetic teeth, preventing discomfort or slippage.
• Enhanced Stability: Pre-Prosthetic Surgery creates a stable foundation, increasing the longevity and effectiveness of your prosthetic devices.
• Oral Health: Addressing bone loss and oral pathologies helps maintain overall oral health.

The Pre-Prosthetic Surgery process typically includes the following steps:

• Consultation: Dr. Yellich and Dr. Salehpour will assess your oral health, discuss your prosthetic needs, and create a personalized treatment plan.
• Surgery: During the procedure, the surgeon will remove any obstacles, reshape bone, or address oral pathologies as necessary. Local anesthesia or sedation ensures a pain-free experience.
• Healing: Your mouth will need time to heal after surgery. Dr. Yellich and Dr. Salehpour will provide post-operative care instructions to promote a smooth recovery.‍
• Prosthetic Placement: Once your mouth has healed, your prosthetic teeth can be custom-made and securely fitted, offering you a natural and confident smile.
