Often tori surgery is performed with high-speed dental drill bits and dental chisels. During the procedure, your Bay Area OSM specialist will make sure you don’t feel a thing by providing local anesthetics and sedation if necessary. Though the surgery itself won’t be painful, tori removal can be a bit uncomfortable.
Another method of tori removal is done via lasers. Though not appropriate in all cases, this method provides excellent accuracy and less palate trauma than traditional tori surgery. With laser surgery, there is also less risk of postoperative infections.
