What is Alveoplasty?
Alveoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and smoothes the jawbone under the gums. This is often necessary after tooth extractions or before denture placement to ensure a comfortable and secure fit or to prepare the jaw for dental implants.

“I had a surgical extraction done at Dr. Darrell Tew's office yesterday and I can't say enough great things about him and his awesome staff members (if I could rate them with 100 stars instead of 5, I totally would!) I've personally had two other surgical extractions done outside of Yakima (due to non-restorable - failed root canals that were done in my 20's and early 30's). Both of them left me with building anxieties and fear about the procedure; however, this time everything was completely different. Of course, I went in nervous, but the staff and Dr. Tew quickly made me feel at ease. They got me medicated, comfortable, and finished the procedure in record time -- painlessly, bruise-free, and without complications; which was a total bonus, given my prior experiences elsewhere. I would highly recommend that anyone needing oral surgery consider their office as your #1 choice -- You won't be disappointed, I promise!” - Karam W.
