See an oral surgeon: You may want to consult with an oral surgeon, depending on the cause, the nature and the size of the hole and available tissue ( soft and hard) in your palate, some kind of grafting may be possible. Best of luck.

Surgeon: You will probably have to consult with more than one professional- oral surgeon, prosthodontist , possibly a plastic surgeon. You will probably be faced with different options and different opinions, but all should work together.

Possibly: See your Oral Surgeon and get assessment and possible referral to other Dr.'s who treat this as a team. Your Maxillofacial Prosthodontist is an excellent resource for options. Much depends upon the location and size of the opening and the surrounding bone and tissue size, shape and condition. Today, there are many options to consider. Good Luck.
