The Mandibular Tori is a series of large bony bumps (Exostosis), that occurs in some patients in the lower mandibular between the premolar and molar areas. These bumps may be the cause of speech problems, diet issues, and overall satisfaction and comfort. For patients who are looking to place dentures, the mandibular tori can interfere with a comfortable and secure fit.
Tori Removal Mexico Surgery is done in our clinic with advanced Laser Technology. Using a hard/soft tissue laser Biolase Waterlase iPlus we can provide a less invasive surgery with cleaner and more precise incisions, fewer vibrations from hand tools, and faster recovery times. Other clinical benefits include less chance for bacterial infection and increased comfort during surgery.
For laser tori removal using Biolase Waterlase iPlus, patients receive a local anesthetic before the procedure. Because there is no heat or vibration, and very little sound, even patients who are anxious about dental work are comfortable with just local numbing. If you are still concerned, talk to your dentist about other options. Your overall comfort is important.
