About This Treatment
Creating a better foundation for dentures and implants
The vestibule is the space between the inner surface of the lips or cheeks and the gums. When this space is too shallow, dentures may not fit securely. Vestibuloplasty deepens this space to improve prosthetic stability and function.
At MINS Dentistry, vestibuloplasty is performed with precision to enhance both function and comfort for patients requiring prosthetic or implant solutions.
Vestibuloplasty may be recommended when
- Dentures are unstable due to a shallow vestibule.
- Muscle attachments are interfering with denture fit.
- Implant placement requires improved soft tissue conditions.
- Bone resorption has reduced the vestibular depth.
Treatment Process
How vestibuloplasty is performed
The procedure is carefully planned to achieve the optimal vestibular depth for your specific prosthetic or implant needs.
01
Assessment
We evaluate the depth of the vestibule and the functional needs of your denture or implant treatment plan.
02
Surgical deepening
The vestibule is surgically deepened by repositioning the muscle attachments to create more space for the denture flange.
03
Tissue management
The exposed area is managed with a graft or allowed to heal naturally, depending on the technique used.
04
Healing and fitting
Once healed, your denture or implant prosthetic can be fitted with improved stability and comfort.
