St. Petersburg Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
St. Petersburg Oral Surgery & Dental Implants FL
The preparation of your mouth before the placement of a prosthesis is referred to as pre-prosthetic surgery.
Some patients require minor oral surgical procedures before receiving a partial or complete denture, in order to ensure the maximum level of comfort. A denture sits on the bone ridge, so it is very important that the bone is the proper shape and size. If a tooth needs to be extracted, the underlying bone might be left sharp and uneven. For the best fit of a denture, the bone might need to be smoothed out or reshaped. Occasionally, excess bone would need to be removed prior to denture insertion.
Our mission is a commitment to excellence in every aspect of patient care.
St. Petersburg Oral Surgery & Dental Implants Phone Number 727-525-5455Our office hours are Monday through Friday 8:00AM - 4:30PM.

Patient Review By Shania S
Let me first say that my anxiety was high. I had a broken tooth that needed to be extracted. I was greeted with a warm smile from the young lady at the front desk which let me know this was a friendly place. Next I met, my girl, Emily. She was super personable and friendly. She went over every single detail. Dr Fort came in after and went over my X-ray along with his plan. He was gentle and patient. He talked me through the entire procedure. I happened to leave my HSA card home and the financial counselor (can’t remember her name) was so patient. She and I shared a few laughs while I waited for my boyfriend to drive back home to get it! My overall experience was wonderful. Dr Fort has a great team. They truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this practice if you are looking for an oral surgeon! Now I have to find a general dentist. I hope I find a team as great as Dr Fort’s team!
