What is Tori Removal?

Tori removal, mandibular tori removal, or maxillary tori removal are procedures performed to eliminate these bony outgrowths that can occur on the lower and upper jaw. Most tori are benign and some may not even require removal. However, in instances where they cause utmost discomfort, hinders denture placement or increases in size over the years, a surgical intervention may be necessary.

At Elevated Oral Surgery, our distinguished oral and maxillofacial surgeon understands the intricacies of this procedure. With a wealth of experience, advanced technology, and the understanding of the oral anatomy, we ensure that the procedure is carried out efficiently, causing minimal discomfort to the patient.

Our Approach to Tori Removal

Our oral surgeon in San Diego, CA, initiates the process by assessing your oral health and the extent of tori present in your mouth.

The assessment not only helps determine the size and shape of tori but also enables us to formulate a surgical plan that best suits your needs.

The surgical process of tori removal generally involves shaving off the excess bone under local or general anesthesia. It is a minimally invasive procedure developed with the motive of improving your oral health while ensuring your comfort and safety.

Given the personalized design of our plans, recovery time can vary from a couple of weeks to several months, based on the complexity of the case.

The Proof is in Our Patients

They helped me with my problem very quickly, the staff makes you feel as if you were at home, they explained the procedure in great detail so that I understood exactly what they were going to do to me and if in case I had questions I would ask them with confidence . I had some questions and they kindly answered them. Everything went perfect and without any problem. Thanks to Dr. MacDowell

I had an ongoing issue that "erupted" into a serious issue on a Friday afternoon. I was referred to Elevated and called around 2pm on a Friday. By 3:30 I was in the chair and out the door after surgery by 5pm. I have had no complications since. Dr. MacDowell and his entire staff were professional.

I want to say Dr. James McDowell was and is the most caring individual I have ever had the pleasure of being a patient with. His level of compassion deserves the highest level of respect and appreciation. Please consider this company as the gold standard of oral surgery options. I would trust them with my life.
