Before a denture, partial, or other prosthetic can fit and function properly, the underlying bone and soft tissue must provide a stable, even foundation. Pre-prosthetic surgery addresses irregularities in the jaw — such as bony projections, uneven ridges, or excess tissue — that would otherwise prevent a prosthetic from sitting comfortably or securely.
At North Creek Dental Care, our surgical team performs pre-prosthetic surgery for patients throughout Tinley Park and the Southland area. Our oral surgeon in Tinley Park evaluates the anatomy of your jaw and recommends the specific procedures needed to optimize your ridge for the prosthetic you are receiving. A proud Southland’s Best 2024 and 2025 winner, we prepare every patient for the best possible prosthetic outcome.
