Sapphire Denture in Bellingham prioritizes the comprehensive care and comfort of patients undergoing denture preparation, and one integral aspect of this process is alveoloplasty. Led by Dr. Senan Najar, an experienced dentist with a focus on restorative dentistry, and supported by Jin You, DPD, a skilled denturist, an alveoloplasty at Sapphire Denture is a meticulous procedure aimed at optimizing the alveolar ridge for the placement of dentures.   Ridge Augmentation   An alveoloplasty, also known as ridge reduction or contouring, is a surgical procedure performed to reshape and smooth the jawbone ridge. This is often necessary when patients are preparing for dentures, as the natural bone structure may have irregularities, exostoses (bony growths), or uneven contours that can impact the fit and comfort of the dentures. Most commonly, an alveoloplasty is performed at the same time as teeth extractions. Dr. Najar and Jin You collaborate to ensure that alveoloplasty is seamlessly integrated into the overall treatment plan, contributing to the success of the denture placement.
The process begins with a thorough examination, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools such as digital imaging and 3D scans. This allows Dr. Najar to assess the condition of the jawbone, identify any irregularities, and plan the alveoloplasty procedure accordingly. The goal is to create a smooth and even ridge that facilitates the secure placement of dentures while enhancing overall oral health. During the alveoloplasty procedure, Dr. Najar employs precision techniques to reshape the jawbone, addressing any bony prominences, irregularities, or excess bone that could affect the fit of dentures. This meticulous approach is essential for achieving a harmonious alignment that supports optimal denture stability and patient comfort. Jin You’s expertise as a denturist plays a pivotal role in the alveoloplasty process. His understanding of denture fabrication ensures that the reshaped ridge aligns seamlessly with the design of the dentures, enhancing the overall fit and functionality of the prosthetic. This collaborative effort between Dr. Najar and Jin You exemplifies the patient-centric approach at Sapphire Denture, where precision and personalized care are our priorities. Post-operatively, patients receive detailed instructions for aftercare, including guidelines for oral hygiene, dietary considerations, and follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process. Dr. Najar and Jin You’s commitment to ongoing support ensures that patients feel confident and informed throughout their journey toward denture placement. The benefits of alveoloplasty extend beyond immediate denture preparation. By creating an optimal foundation for dentures, the procedure contributes to long-term bone density. This prevents potential issues such as sore spots, discomfort, and instability that may arise from an uneven jawbone ridge.
