Alveoloplasty
Alveoloplasty reshapes the jawbone after tooth extraction, creating a stable foundation for dentures or implants. It improves fit, comfort, and aesthetics.
What Is Alveolplasty?
Alveoloplasty is a dental procedure used to reshape and smooth the jawbone's alveolar ridge. It is commonly performed after tooth extraction to create a suitable foundation for dentures, dental implants, or other restorations. The alveolar ridge may have irregularities, sharp edges, or excessive bone, which can affect the fit and stability of dental prosthetics.
During alveoloplasty, the dentist carefully trims and contours the ridge to achieve a more favorable shape and ensure proper alignment of the new prosthetic device.
This procedure improves the fit, comfort, and functionality of dentures or implants, allowing for better oral function and aesthetics. Alveoloplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia, and recovery time is minimal.
Procedure
Evaluation: The dentist assesses the alveolar ridge's shape, bone density, and any irregularities to determine the need for alveoloplasty.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a comfortable experience during the procedure.
Ridge Reshaping: Using specialized instruments, the dentist carefully trims and contours the alveolar ridge, removing any excess bone or smoothing irregularities.
Hemostasis: Bleeding is controlled by applying pressure or using appropriate techniques to promote blood clotting.
Wound Closure: The gum tissue is sutured back together to facilitate proper healing and minimize postoperative discomfort
Healing and Follow-up: The patient is provided with postoperative instructions, and a follow-up visit is scheduled to monitor healing progress and ensure optimal outcomes.
Benefits of Alveoloplasty
Improved Denture Fit: Alveoloplasty enhances denture stability and comfort, ensuring a better fit for improved oral function.
Enhanced Esthetics: Reshaping the alveolar ridge improves jawline appearance and facial symmetry.
Increased Prosthetic Stability: Alveoloplasty provides proper alignment and support for dental implants or restorations.
Improved Oral Function: Alveoloplasty restores proper chewing efficiency and speech patterns.
Better Oral Health: Easier oral hygiene maintenance promotes optimal dental health.
Enhanced Patient Satisfaction: Alveoloplasty improves overall patient satisfaction and confidence in dental prosthetics.
