Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
The preparation of your mouth before the placement of your prosthesis (denture) is referred to as pre-prosthetic surgery.
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 is extracted before your denture is placed, the underlying bone might be sharp and uneven. For the best fit of your denture, the bone might need to be smoothed or reshaped (alveloplasty). Occasionally, excess bone would need to be removed prior to denture insertion.
One or more of the following procedures may be required to prepare your mouth for a denture:
- Bone smoothing and reshaping
- Removal of excess bone
- Bone ridge reduction
- Removal of excess gum tissue
- Exposure of impacted teeth
Dr. Patel will review your particular needs and discuss them with you during your appointment.
Patient Review By Mike D
Dr Chintan Patel and his medical assistant were excellent in my tooth extraction yesterday. Both took the time to explain this procedure, and both made sure that there was very little pain. The whole process took about a half hour, and I was able to walk out and drive a car with no problem. The office staff is very friendly and helpful especially if there were questions afterwards. I would highly recommend Dr Patel and the NORTHEAST office to anyone who needs any type of surgery.

Dr Chintan Patel and His assistant, Lisa, were excellent in the extraction of a broken tooth. They both took the time to explain the procedure, and both were able to make this process with basically no pain. They both were very attentive, professional and caring in removing this tooth. I highly recommend them for any dental needs.

Patient Review By Eleisa M
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My fear was off the charts. I had no time to prepare because they called me with a cancellation. The staff was so kind (they even wiped my tears) The doctor assured me with his confidence and kindness. He explained just enough as he worked. He was available if I needed him after the surgery. He called to see how I was doing that evening. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. I was truly blessed that day.

Patient Review By Lisa R
When my dentist told me I needed to have a tooth removed I was a bit nervous. I needn't have been. I'm so grateful I was referred to Dr. Fraser! The entire process was amazing, and the Northeast practice is wonderful - very welcoming, friendly and professional. Dr. Fraser was wonderful and made me feel so comfortable and I knew I was in good hands. The tooth that had been causing me a lot of pain before was taken out painlessly and the area has healed perfectly. I appreciated the follow up call to see how I was doing! I highly recommend Dr. Fraser and his practice!

Patient Review By Sumaiya S
I had my procedure done on 04/20 which involved removing all my four wisdom teeth. I had a consultation session prior and it was amazing how Dr Fraser walked me through the entire process, pros and cons, pre op procedure and post op care. That day the staff had me schedule for the surgery and they were extremely helpful with the insurance work and scheduling the appointment. The day of the procedure went smoothly, Dr Fraser's guidance helped me navigate the initial days with minimal pain management and issues. He did call the evening to check up on me, which i thought was amazing! I have been doing extremely well one week out now without any issues. He is an awesome doctor and a wonderful human being, and his staffs are wonderful. I would definitely recommend him for wisdom teeth procedure and specially if it's you're first surgery of any kind.

Patient Review By Mollie M
I’ve never been more impressed with a patient-care facility. I originally called just to ask a few questions but after speaking with the receptionist I immediately knew they would take care of me and were so supportive. It’s very hard to come by a doctor now a days that doesn’t make you feel rushed so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so dedicated and caring! The whole staff was outstanding, positive, and truly put me at ease. Dr. Fraser was phenomenal. I’ve never had a doctor call afterwards to check in. That speaks volumes! Love everything about my experience and will absolutely recommend. Thank you!!! -Mollie

Patient Review By Rachel C
WONDERFUL experience considering the pain I was in. I developed a very painful dry socket and Dr. Fraser cared for me on every single day squeezing me into his busy schedule, meeting me after office hours on his birthday to pack my mouth and on Christmas Eve just so I wasn't in any pain. I highly recommend going to Dr. Fraser as he took excellent care of me and all of his staff were very nice.
