Q. My daughter is having two wisdom teeth pulled and they have told her she may need alveoplasty and it is not covered by insurance. She will never put dentures where the wisdom teeth were so why would it be neccessary?

A. hi msny thanks for your email, this procedure may be required as if the extractions are very surgical, the bone might be very irregular once the teeth have been taken out and the alveoplasty will help to contour the bone so it feels much more smooth and natural in the mouth. you can ask them not to do the procedure but if the surgeon then feels it will benefit your daughter long term its a choice only you can make.
