Alveoplasty in Dallas, TX
Smooth jawbone contours after extractions to improve healing, comfort, and restoration fit long term.
What is Alveoplasty?
Alveoplasty smooths and reshapes the jawbone after a tooth is removed, creating an even ridge that heals comfortably and supports future dentures or implants. The process involves refining rough spots or high points so the bone has a natural, balanced contour. This matters because uneven bone can affect how your gums heal and how restorations fit later on.
At The Dental Method in Dallas, TX, we perform alveoplasty with a steady, careful hand to set the stage for whatever treatment comes next. A tiny bump in the bone can change the way a denture sits, which is why this subtle shaping makes such a big difference.

Benefits of Alveoplasty
Learn why alveoplasty plays a crucial role in creating a smooth, comfortable foundation for future dental treatments.
Smoother Bone Contours
Smoothing uneven jawbone creates a more comfortable foundation and improves the fit of future restorations.
Improved Healing Conditions
Even bone surfaces promote healthier tissue healing and reduce irritation during the recovery process overall.
Restorative Preparation
Proper bone contouring prepares the jaw for dentures, implants, or other restorative dental treatments.
Who Needs Alveoplasty?
Alveoplasty is appropriate when uneven jawbone contours interfere with healing or future restorations. Patients may require this procedure after extractions or before denture or implant placement. Smoothing the bone helps improve comfort and predictability during restorative planning.
Alveoplasty is often part of a staged treatment approach. Follow-up care supports smooth healing and prepares bone for future restorations.
Advanced Jawbone Contouring Techniques
Alveoplasty technology is used to smooth and reshape the jawbone after tooth removal, creating a more even surface for healing and future restorations. At The Dental Method, detailed imaging helps identify uneven bone areas that may interfere with comfort or prosthetic fit. Specialized surgical instruments allow the bone to be contoured gradually and precisely, rather than aggressively reduced.
This controlled approach supports better healing, improved comfort, and a more predictable foundation for dentures or implants. Small refinements made at this stage can significantly impact long-term restorative outcomes.
