Q. i had my teeth pulled about two and half months ago and been having trouble with dentures fitting. now they are saying i need alveoplasty ok. today they sent me to an oral surgeon he stated that i should of had the procedure done at the time my teeth were pulled. i would like your opionon please

A. It is not unusual for dentures not to fit very well following removal of teth an immediate placement of dentures.  Many times new dentures need to be made 6 months later following a healing period. I am unable to comment on the alveoplasty issue without examining you.
