2. What you are agreeing to

Proposed treatment

After teeth are removed the bony ridge is often sharp, uneven, or undercut. Alveoloplasty lifts the gum and smooths or reshapes that bone so a denture or a fixed implant bridge can seat comfortably and be made the right thickness. It is frequently done at the same visit as extractions or full-arch implant surgery.

Material risks and limitations

Bone is permanently removed. It does not grow back, and removing too much would reduce what is available for implants later — which is why only what is necessary is taken.
Pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, and stitches that may need removing.
Infection, delayed healing, or a small area of exposed bone.
Numbness or altered feeling of the lip, chin, gum, or tongue — usually temporary.
The ridge continues to change shape as it heals, so a denture made now will need adjustment, relining, or remaking.
Sharp bone edges can reappear during healing and occasionally need a second smoothing.
Opening into the sinus when the upper back jaw is reshaped.

Reasonable alternatives

Leaving the ridge as it is and adjusting the denture instead, waiting for natural remodeling before making a denture, grafting to build the ridge up rather than reducing it, or no treatment.
