Alveoloplasty in Gurugram
Alveoloplasty reshapes bone along a tooth socket (the space left after a tooth is removed) or jaw ridge (the bone beneath the gums). It may be considered when a sharp or uneven ridge would interfere with a planned denture; it is not a routine step after every extraction. Dr. Supreet Kaur Sawhney, MDS, is a Senior Consultant – Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon and Senior Implantologist with more than 20 years of experience. A Gurugram assessment can help determine whether the concern is truly the bone ridge, the denture fit, or another issue.

When ridge smoothing may be discussed
The clinician examines the ridge and explains what, if anything, needs reshaping. Minor smoothing at extraction differs from a separate, more substantial operation to prepare the mouth for a denture. The actual area and amount of bone change depend on the finding and denture plan; no bone removal is implied for every extraction or denture.

A loose or uncomfortable existing denture can also reflect changes in the gums and ridge after tooth removal. A dentist may assess whether adjustment or relining (refitting the denture’s inner surface) is appropriate before assuming surgery is needed. Refitting can address a prosthesis-fit problem, but it may not remove a true bony obstruction.
What alveoloplasty may involve
For substantial reshaping, possible surgical steps can include local anaesthesia (medicine that numbs the area), lifting gum tissue, recontouring supporting bone and closing the wound with stitches. The detailed source describes a more extensive operation before radiotherapy (radiation treatment), so it illustrates a possible route only; it is not a routine denture-surgery protocol. Ask what exact area and amount are proposed, why it is needed, and whether the procedure would be combined with extraction or performed later.
After surgery, follow the treating surgeon’s wound-care, hygiene and denture-pressure instructions. Arrange and attend a review of healing and any pressure from the denture. Soreness, swelling or slight oozing can occur after mouth surgery, but instructions vary. Contact the treating team promptly for persistent bleeding despite advised pressure, severe or worsening pain or swelling, or concern about infection. No universal denture-wear or healing timetable applies.
