Is Alveoloplasty necessary after teeth removable for dentures?
Alveoloplasty is not always necessary after teeth removal for dentures. However, it may be recommended in certain situations, such as when there is:- Excessive bone resorption
- Sharp or pointed bone ridges
- Undercuts or irregularities in the jawbone
Alveoloplasty can help to create a more smooth and even surface for the denture to rest on. It can also improve the fit and stability of the denture, reducing the risk of it slipping or moving around.
Whether or not you need alveoloplasty will depend on your individual case. Your dentist or oral surgeon will be able to assess your jawbone and determine if it is necessary.
