Alveoloplasty in Aliso Viejo
Reshaping the jawbone ridge after extractions for optimal healing and prosthetic fit.
What Is Alveoloplasty?
A minor surgical procedure that smooths and contours the alveolar ridge — the jawbone that once held your teeth — after extractions. It removes sharp edges, irregular bone, or excess tissue to create a smooth foundation for dentures, implants, or future restorations.
The Connection to Dentures
An irregular ridge leads to denture sore spots and poor fit. Alveoloplasty creates a smooth ridge for comfortable, well-fitting dentures.
The 4-Step Process
- Local anesthesia is applied.
- Gum tissue is gently reflected.
- Irregular bone is smoothed and contoured with surgical instruments.
- Tissue is sutured closed and heals in one to two weeks.
