Bumps and Irregularities in the Jaw

If you have one or more teeth removed you may be left with bumps, ridges and odd shapes left from where the tooth was. You can run you finger over them and feel them. Like a road full of potholes, its bumpy not smooth. Unresolved, this is often leading cause of poor denture fit and denture pain and jaw pain.

I've had extensive training in a procedure that helps smooth out your mouth so you will be out of pain and denture will fit perfectly.

Alveoplasty

I was trained by top oral surgeons at University of Texas to ensure your dentures fit well and most importantly don't cause long-term pain or discomfort.

Think of this like like smoothing out an old bumpy road with fresh pavement. Once your jaw is smooth again, your Denture won't be sitting unevenly on bumps and ridges, pressing into jaw bone unevenly. Instead, pressure is distributed evenly.

This is also how you get a perfect fit and "suction" can be formed so your denture stay in your mouth without any glue or paste. Just like a car steers better if the entire tire makes full contact with a smooth even road, unlike a car bouncing unevenly on potholes causing wear and tear on your car's suspension.
