Should I ask my dentist about an Alveoplasty?

Q.
i have had all my top teeth removed by my dentist. The oral surgeon who removed all but 6 of my lower teeth talked about having to do alveoplasty when he would remove my top teeth.Should i ask my dentist about doing this,before she takes an impression for my upper denture?
A.
No – alveoplasty is adjusting the shape of the bone under your gum. This will be done at the time of extracting the upper teeth
