An alveoloplasty or alveoplasty is a dental surgical procedure done at Kashi's Ashwathi Dental Clinic to smooth and reshape a patient's jawbone in areas where teeth have been extracted or otherwise lost.
An alveoplasty is usually conducted in areas where teeth have been removed or lost (especially if a dental clearance has been done). The treatment can be done alone but is usually done at the same time that teeth are extracted.
Some patients require minor oral surgical procedures in order to properly fit a denture and ensure comfort. In order to properly fit a denture, the bone may require smoothing and reshaping.
