Vestibular Surgery Columbus, OH
Vestibular surgery is performed as part of a broader treatment plan and involves surgically modifying the oral cavity, either through extensive tissue rearrangement or by changing the gingival-mucous membrane. This procedure is sometimes necessary due to the loss of bone tissue and the tissues and membranes covering that bone that naturally occur after a tooth has become extracted or falls out.
Vestibular surgery is common if you are getting traditional dentures or implants. The procedure often involves increasing the width and height of the gum region. The factors that will determine the extent of the procedure include the size of the area in need of reconstruction and how much bone loss has occurred. Vestibular extension repair extends from the inside of the cheeks to the outside of the teeth.
