Dentures sit on the bone ridge, so it is important that the bone is the proper shape and size. A denture could easily feel uncomfortable if a tooth needs to be extracted because the underlying bone might be sharp and uneven. For the right denture fit, the bone may need to be smoothed out or reshaped. Sometimes, Dr. Curtis will remove excess bone prior to inserting the denture.
