When a person has lost his natural teeth, or has a toothless jaw – the jaw alveolus starts slowly disappearing – it is absorbed.

With the bone dying off, the alveolar height is lost and the oral vestibule becomes shallower.

This situation is not acceptable for prosthesis with removable dentures. In such a situation, prosthesis cannot be attached and its fixation is very weak.

Oral vestibule plastic is a type of surgery usually performed after bone augmentation surgery, before and after implantation as well as during the production of removable dentures.

During this operation the loss of fixed height of the gum is compensated, the gum stresses are eliminated, and good plate fixation is achieved.

After surgery, you may feel a slight discomfort and swelling from a few days to a week.

After surgery, the oral surgeon will prescribe analgesics or anti-inflammatory medications that will help you to feel better during the healing period.

It is crucial to ensure good oral hygiene at home.
