Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
The preparation of your mouth before the placement of a prosthesis is referred to as pre-prosthetic surgery.
Some patients require minor oral surgical procedures before receiving a partial or complete denture, in order to ensure the maximum level of comfort. A denture sits on the bone ridge, so it is very important that the bone is the proper shape and size. If a tooth needs to be extracted, the underlying bone might be left sharp and uneven. For the best fit of a denture, the bone might need to be smoothed out or reshaped. Occasionally, excess bone would need to be removed prior to denture insertion.
One or more of the following procedures might need to be performed in order to prepare your mouth for a denture:
- Bone smoothing and reshaping
- Removal of excess bone
- Bone ridge reduction
- Removal of excess gum tissue
- Exposure of impacted teeth
We will review your particular needs with you during your appointment.

I was very impressed with Dr Dawlatly and the entire staff.. I had an extraction and suffered no swelling nor bruising afterwards. Dr. Dawlatly and the staff put me at ease and I was in and out in an hour flat. ( I have always had the "roots from hell" which require a good amount of hard work to remove.) Strongly recommend this practice and Dr. Dawlatly

Carla took care of me before my actual procedure with Dr. Dietrich and she walked me through each step by verbalizing what she was doing. As an anxious person, this helped ease my nerves and make me feel calm. I could not have asked for a better experience. Dr. Dietrich was very kind and calm and I knew I was in good hands. I am so grateful for being so well taken care of by Dr. Dietrich and his staff. Thank you!!

Dr Dietrich and his staff were all very friendly. Made me feel comfortable. I chose to stay awake during an implant and I started to pass out Dr Dietrich and his assistant were very quick to help this pass which was amazing. I also had a follow up call to see how I was doing which I appreciated. Dr Dietrich and his staff are the best.

Love this place! I use to be so afraid of getting any oral work done until I started to come here! They (the staff) make you feel at ease, super courteous, and the doctor (Dietrich) definitely let's you know you're in good hands, extremely professional, stand up guy, very honest and down to earth and precise! Overall, a place you can rely on to get whatever you need done THE RIGHT WAY!

I had some pain and went to my dentist. he said i broke my tooth in half and it needed extracted right away. Dr. Carpenter took me in right away and performed the procedure. The staff that helped was very polite and professional. The Dr. continued to make sure I was as comfortable as possible and asked me several times while pulling the tooth. I was very happy with the procedure and all the people there. Thanks again for the super job and kindness

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out by Dr. Beushausen and he was outstanding. I am 46 years old and was scared to death to get them removed due to my age and possible complication from it. He made me feel at easy and did an excellent job. It has just been over a week since I had it done and am doing great! Had minimal swelling and a lot less pain than what I thought there would be. The entire staff there was amazing. They are so friendly and make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend going here for any major dental work. 🙂

I had a great overall experience from the time I called to set up the appointment until I received the call to check up on how I was doing after surgery. All of the staff members were very efficient and helped to put me at ease since I have a serious fear of dental procedures. I needed to have my wisdom teeth removed, which is something I avoided for quite some time due to my fears. I elected to have the procedure done under full anesthesia which was wonderful! I remember absolutely nothing from the procedure itself and had a smooth recovery. Dr. Beushausen was extremely professional and courteous throughout the consult and the procedure. He really helped put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend this facility for any of your in-depth dental needs, regardless of whether or not you have a strong fear of dental procedures!

I had the absolute best experience here!!! It’s so rare to find a dentist office you actually like. I needed to get my wisdom teeth out due to an infection and they got me in right away. Very nice knowledgable staff. Little to no swelling and no bruising. I was shocked considering I bruise very easily. I will continue to recommend them!! I would give them 10 stars if I could.
