Vestibuloplasty
In Lansing, Ann Arbor and Brighton, Michigan

A Vestibuloplasty, also called a ridge extension, is any surgical procedure that increases the size of the denture-bearing area and height of the residual alveolar ridge (or portion of bone on either side of the jaw) that surrounds and supports the teeth. The primary reason for this surgical procedure is to prepare the mouth for dentures and give them more surface area to adhere to. This can be accomplished by repositioning the jaw muscles attached to your lips, your cheeks and tongue.

The procedure is one of the more complicated dental surgeries we perform for our patients in the Lansing area, so it important to have an open dialogue with our expert cosmetic dentists, Dr's. DiStefano and Nguyen, and learn about the procedure in detail before deciding it is right for you.

The first step in the process is for you is to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. DiStefano or Dr. Nguyen. At that appointment, you can discuss any difficulties you are having with your dentures and a thorough examination of your mouth can be done. Then you can discuss the procedure further before a recommendation is made based on their cosmetic dentistry expertise and many years of experience.
