Dr. Alexander Vasserman provides expert tori removal procedures for patients experiencing discomfort, difficulty with dentures, or other oral health concerns caused by bony growths in the mouth.

What is Tori Removal?
Tori are harmless bony growths that can develop on the roof of the mouth (palatal tori) or along the inside of the lower jaw (mandibular tori). While tori are generally benign, they can interfere with oral function, affect speech, and complicate denture placement. Tori removal is a simple surgical procedure that eliminates these growths, improving comfort and oral health.
Reasons for Tori Removal
Denture Fit Issues
Tori can prevent dentures from fitting securely and comfortably. Removing them creates a smooth surface for better denture retention.
Speech and Eating Difficulties
In some cases, large tori can interfere with speech or make it difficult to chew and swallow comfortably.
Irritation and Trauma
Tori can be prone to irritation or injury, especially for individuals who frequently eat hard or crunchy foods.
Orthodontic or Dental Treatment Preparation
Tori removal may be necessary before certain orthodontic treatments or restorative procedures to ensure the best possible outcome.
The Tori Removal Procedure
Dr. Vasserman performs tori removal with precision and care, using modern surgical techniques to minimize discomfort and speed up recovery. The procedure involves gently removing the excess bone and smoothing the area for optimal healing. Local anesthesia is used to ensure a pain-free experience, and sedation options are available for added comfort.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients experience minimal discomfort following tori removal. Mild swelling and soreness are common but typically subside within a few days. Patients are advised to stick to soft foods initially and follow all post-operative care instructions for a smooth recovery.
