Alveoloplasty in Kissimmee, FL
Gentle bone reshaping for a healthier, more comfortable smile
What is Alveoloplasty?
Alveoloplasty is a precise surgical contouring procedure we perform after tooth extraction to prepare your jawbone for future dental work. Over time, the jaw ridge can become uneven, making dentures or implants uncomfortable or unstable. This procedure gently reshapes and smooths the bone, creating a clean, optimal, and ideal foundation for your new smile. This precision ensures your future prosthetic treatment (dentures, bridges, or implants) will fit securely, comfortably, and last for years.
