Perhaps it was very close to the mental foramen and he did not want to leave you permamnently numb if it is not necessary.\n\nThis dysplasia is very likely in response to a poor fitting denture.  It's not unlike the callous you have on your elbow.  Just let the surgical site heal for a few weeks (as recommended) and then either get a new denture or have your existing denture relined (if it is otherwise suitable) so that it fits properly.\n\nAt this stage, just don't wear your denture until it heals and be careful not to bump into the area with any food if you are chewing soft foods.
