Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Some patients may require surgery prior to prosthesis, even if not necessary for every patient. Especially in patients who have lost their teeth a long time ago or who are older, there may not be a bone area in the mouth where the prosthesis will be fixed. Sometimes the old prosthesis may cause strokes or some irregularities in the mouth.Therefore, it will not be possible to take a healthy measure and make an appropriate prosthesis without correcting these conditions.
