Some people have excess bone in their mouth. This can effect the fit of a full or partial denture.
This excess bone is usually referred to as a “Tori.” This excess bone can occur on both the upper or lower jaw.
Tori removal is a fairly common procedure that can be performed by an oral surgeon or a dentist. The surgery aims to remove the bony growths so that they do not cause further problems or irritation. Tori removal is generally considered to be a safe and effective procedure with a low risk of complications.
After the tori are removed, it is important to take care of the wound site and keep it clean. You may be given specific instructions on how to care for the wound site. It is also important to avoid eating hard or crunchy foods for at least a week after the surgery. This will help prevent any further irritation or damage to the area.
