What Is Tori Removal?
Tori removal is a surgical procedure to eliminate tori, which are bony growths in the mouth either on the palate (torus palatinus) or beneath the tongue on the lower jaw (torus mandibularis). At ConfiDent Smile Studio, we perform this procedure to enhance patient comfort, especially when tori interfere with speech, eating, the fit of dentures or the placement of dental prosthetics. While tori are usually harmless and non-cancerous, their removal can significantly improve oral function and patient comfort.
Benefits of Tori Removal
Removing tori can provide relief from discomfort or irritation caused by these bony growths, particularly when wearing dentures or other dental appliances. Additionally, tori removal facilitates better oral hygiene by smoothing areas that may trap food and bacteria, reducing the risk of periodontal disease. This procedure can also make future dental treatments, such as the placement of implants or bridges, easier and more comfortable for the patient.
