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.
