What Is Pre-Prosthetic Dental Surgery?
Pre-prosthetic surgery is a key step in preparing for dental implants, ensuring your jawbone and surrounding tissue are ready for proper implant placement. If there are issues with bone structure or excess tissue, this procedure reshapes or removes the material needed to create a stable foundation. Oral Surgery Associates Gadsden specializes in this procedure for patients in Gadsden and Albertville, AL, helping to ensure a successful dental implant process. Our experienced surgeons, Drs. Cecil Dorsett and Frank E. Orr, focus on tailoring the surgery to your specific needs, addressing any challenges to ensure a smooth process before your dental implants are placed. By making sure your mouth is properly prepared, we help you achieve a successful and lasting result.
How Is Pre-Prosthetic Oral Surgery Performed?
Before planning your pre-prosthetic oral surgery, Dr. Dorsett or Dr. Orr will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw, taking advanced 3D impressions to get the clearest picture of your oral health. Based on the findings, they will develop a personalized treatment plan and explain the steps needed to prepare your mouth for dental implants. Pre-prosthetic dental surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia, and we offer other sedation methods to keep you relaxed and comfortable for your procedure. Your surgeon will make small, precise incisions in the gum tissue to access the bone. From there, they'll trim away any excess gum tissue and place any bone grafts to create ample space for dental implants. Once they're finished, they'll close the incisions with sutures. Before you leave, we'll review all post-surgery care instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
What Are the Benefits of Pre-Prosthetic Oral Surgery?
Pre-prosthetic surgery ensures that your mouth is properly prepared for dental implants, improving the success of your procedure and long-term oral health. By addressing bone and tissue issues early, it sets the foundation for a smoother implant process — along with other benefits, including:
- Ensures a stable foundation for dental implants
- Improves the fit and comfort of implants
- Reduces the risk of complications during implant placement
- Supports long-term oral health and function
- Helps create a smoother, faster recovery process

We just came see Dr dorsey telling us what they was going to do about pulling my son Joshua 4 teeth what medicine to take day of his procedure they where supper nice that day we went want thank DrLaffette from Jacksonville Alabama referral Joshua to yall
I recently had a complex tooth extraction due to resorption, along with a bone graft procedure under IV sedation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Oral Surgery Associates. From the very beginning, they made me feel completely at ease, taking the time to explain every step of the procedure with clarity and patience. Their professionalism and expertise were evident throughout, and I truly appreciated their compassionate approach. The IV sedation was smooth, and I felt comfortable and well-cared for from start to finish. The procedure itself was performed with incredible precision, and my recovery has been going remarkably well thanks to the skill and care of Oral Surgery Associates. The post-operative instructions were clear, and their team was readily available to answer any questions, which gave me great peace of mind. I am beyond grateful for their outstanding work and dedication to patient comfort. I highly recommend Oral Surgery Associates to anyone in need of oral surgery – their professionalism, kindness, and expertise made all the difference!
Great visit !!!! Everyone was nice 🙂
