Is A Surgery Like Frenectomy Necessary Before Placing Dentures?

I am not sure how to spell: tare-eye, but it is the area located at the bottom inside below your bottom front teeth. I was told by a Denrist I would need surgy to remove this st that theeth would fit properly. I was recently told with out having it removed my new denture's would always be painful. Yet I was not told any of this by another dentist that I had seen in Minnesota, not even that I needed this procedure. I am scheduled in early November to begin the denture procedure and am now uneasy to do so. Can you put any light on concerns here? Thank you, William Floodman

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain it seems that you have a "BONY TORI" that occurs as a bony nodule like overgrowth over the jaw.

Although it is harmless and painless but it can cause problems with proper placement and fitting of the denture..
It will interfere with denture placement and disturb its proper fit and also if placed as it is, it will cause trauma to the mucosa over it and cause inflammation and ulceration..

Therefore it is an appropriate advise to get the tori removed and then only you should get the denture placed..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
