Alveoplasty in Austin Texas
Alveoplasty
Soft tissue biopsies are typically performed to diagnose or rule out conditions that may present with oral lesions. This includes infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancer. —
The procedure involves removing a small piece of soft tissue and sending it to a laboratory for analysis by a pathologist.
The main goals of alveoplasty are to smooth out irregularities in the bone surface to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection, remove excess bone to improve the fit of a denture or partial denture, and reshape the bone to create a better foundation for a dental implant.
When you are under our care, our oral surgeon will carefully shape the bone to achieve the desired result, taking care not to damage any adjacent teeth, nerves, or blood vessels.
When should I see my Oral Surgeon?
If you are considering a dental implant or denture, your oral surgeon may determine that your alveolar ridge needs to be reshaped to achieve optimal results.
