What Is Alveoloplasty and Why It’s Necessary

Alveoloplasty (pronounced al-vee-oh-lo-plas-tee) is a form of bone contouring performed to reshape the alveolar ridge — the part of the jawbone that supports your teeth. After tooth extraction or bone resorption, the ridge can develop uneven areas or sharp edges that make it difficult to fit dentures or perform implant surgery.

Alveoloplasty is necessary to:

Smooth rough or uneven bone after extractions

Prepare the jaw for dental implants, bridges, or dentures

Improve comfort and fit for existing or future prosthetics

Promote faster healing and prevent complications

By restoring the natural contour of your jawbone, alveoloplasty provides a stable base for long-lasting, comfortable results.

Alveoloplasty Near Me

At Zara Dental, we’re committed to ensuring every restorative or surgical procedure — from dentures to dental implants — begins with a stable, healthy foundation. Alveoloplasty is a minor surgical procedure that reshapes and smooths the jawbone after a tooth extraction or bone loss, ensuring proper healing and the best possible fit for future restorations.

This procedure not only enhances comfort but also promotes faster recovery and long-term stability for dentures, bridges, and implants.

What to Expect During Alveoloplasty

1

Consultation and Planning

We begin with a thorough examination and digital imaging to assess the bone structure and plan the precise areas that require contouring. Local anesthesia ensures you remain completely comfortable during the procedure.

2

Access and Bone Reshaping

A small incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the underlying bone. Using specialized instruments, our dentist gently reshapes and smooths the bony ridge, removing any sharp or irregular areas.

3

Rinsing and Closure

Once the bone is properly contoured, the area is cleansed and the gum tissue is repositioned and sutured to promote healthy healing. This ensures the site is stable and smooth for future restorative treatment.

4

Healing and Follow-Up

Most patients experience minimal discomfort after the procedure. Over the following weeks, the bone and gums heal naturally, creating an ideal foundation for dentures, implants, or other restorative work.

Alveoloplasty and Tooth Extraction: Why They’re Often Done Together

In many cases, alveoloplasty is performed immediately after a tooth extraction to ensure optimal healing and comfort. When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone may have sharp edges or uneven contours that can interfere with the placement of dentures, implants, or bridges.

By performing alveoloplasty during the same visit, we can:

  • Smooth the bone and shape the ridge for proper healing

  • Prevent future irritation or denture sore spots

  • Reduce the need for additional surgery later

  • Create a seamless foundation for future restorative work

Combining alveoloplasty with extraction not only shortens recovery time but also helps maintain the natural shape and strength of your jawbone — setting the stage for long-term comfort and function.
