Does my torus need to be removed?
Though a torus isn’t exactly a medical concern, it can interfere with oral hygiene and prosthetic and orthodontic devices. You might consider tori removal surgery at one of our Bay Area OSM offices for a number of reasons. Some include:
It affects your speech
Makes it difficult to chew your food
Before being fit for dentures
To make room for certain orthodontic devices
Prior to implant surgery
Cause issues with oral hygiene
If your torus isn’t interfering with your life, it is usually left in place. If your torus has become uncomfortable or a nuisance, schedule a consultation with our dedicated team of surgeons. They will help provide answers as to whether your torus needs to be removed.
