Pre-prosthetic Surgery
The preparation of your mouth before the placement of a prosthesis is referred to as pre-prosthetic surgery.
Some patients require minor oral surgical procedures before receiving a partial or complete denture, in order to ensure the maximum level of comfort. A denture sits on the bone ridge, so it is very important that the bone is the proper shape and size. If a tooth needs to be extracted, the underlying bone might be left sharp and uneven. For the best fit of a denture, the bone might need to be smoothed out or reshaped. Occasionally, excess bone would need to be removed prior to denture insertion.
One or more of the following procedures might need to be performed in order to prepare your mouth for a denture:
- bone smoothing and reshaping
- removal of excess bone
- bone ridge reduction
- removal of excess gum tissue
- exposure of impacted teeth
We will review your particular needs with you during your appointment

Doctor - Laura F So happy that my dentist referred me to Dr.Gilbert - Lesley R Very nice visit with no pain or discomfort. - Donald B I donated bone marrow in 2007 and experienced what every person in this country should experience.......first rate care, compassionate doctors, nurses and support staff.......it was great. Fast forward to Dr. Gilbert's office 2019 and this is exactly what I experienced once again. I had a consultation prior to my surgery and Dr. Gilbert sat down and really listened to what I had to say with regard to my issues, fears and concerns regarding surgery. I never felt, as I've felt with other doctor's, that he wanted to be somewhere else. He made me feel like I was the most important patient at that time. Dr. Gilbert's calmness and confidence really allowed me to put my complete trust in him, not easy for me to do. He told me I probably would not have any pain, maybe soreness, but no pain. He was spot on in that regard. His staff is top notch and friendly and answered whatever question I threw at them. I wish all medical interactions were as great as this has been! - Scott P My experience with Dr. Gilbert, assistants, and office staff was completely positive. Everyone was knowledgeable, kind, and reassuring before, during, and after my procedure. I feel I was completely informed about my implant operation during the consultations before the surgery and afterward. All of my questions were professionally answered and I was released with detailed information of how to take care of the surgical area and what I could expect as I healed. - Marjorie E Excellent service from the moment I called the office. Nia went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable. She was very personal and addressed all my questions.
Facility and Environment was clean and peaceful. I also noticed the staff was very kind and caring...George, Mack, Janell and both Shauna's treated me as if I were some Celebrity Star. Making sure my personal comfort was a top priority. I am a Senior and was in the dentistry field for many years: " I have never experienced or seen a class act like INLAND INSTITUTE. It was obvious to me this office would not be possible without the most incredible, professionally gifted Doctor: David H. Gilbert D.D.S., M.S., M.B.A.

The consultants were professional and patient answering questions from a 16 year old who is deeply concerned when facing needles. Dr. Gilbert was helpful and helped calm his nerves when he explained the surgery procedure. I would definitely recommend Dr. Gilbert and staff to anyone looking for a great dental experience - Vincent V Both of my girls had their wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Gilbert.

The whole staff is great and they go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. - Gloria Ann J Dr. Gilbert is not only an extremely knowledgeable and skilled surgeon, he is also a down to earth and caring doctor! I could tell the very first time I met him that I was not just " another patient" to him, and that he not only cared about me as a human being, he also treated me as an individual. Dr. Gilbert' s whole staff treated me professionally, yet friendly at the same time. From the moment I walked in and was greeted by the front desk ladies, to the time I was taken back to surgery the whole entire staff was AMAZING! They not only took the time to explain everything they were doing during that appointment and answer all of my questions, they also went above and beyond by also giving me a tour of the whole facility, introducing me to each and every staff member, and showing me things like my x-rays, etc... The fact that they all took the extra time to do these things and to answer my questions in such detail not only alleviated all my fears I had prior to coming to Dr. Gilbert, but it confirmed to me that all the excellent reviews were indeed true, and that I was in good hands. I will never go any where else! Thank you to Dr. gilbert, George, and the rest of the staff that helped get me through my surgery that day! You all are such kind, talented, smart and caring people! You can tell that you all are not just good at your jobs, but that you also truly enjoy what you do! Thank you for taking the extra time for me and for treating me not just as a person but for making me feel like I was more of a family member to you! - kelly c Every time that I have gone to Dr. Gilbert's office, I have been treated as family. His staff are exceptionally friendly, as well as professional. The facility has "state of the art" technology, and the atmosphere is one of caring concern! Regardless of the issue that brought you to see an oral surgeon, you leave reassured that you are in the best possible hands. Dr. Gilbert is knowledgeable, and kind, always making you feel confident in his care. (And the dimples are an added benefit).
Gloria, Dr. Gilbert's PA, is genuine, proactive and a real advocate!
