Ridge Augmentation
When teeth are lost and not replaced, the jawbone in the area where the tooth once was begins to deteriorate. This bone loss can complicate or even prevent the placement of dental implants or dentures in the future. You may not have had the funds for restorative surgery at the time of extraction, but if your financial situation has changed, there are options available now.
One effective solution we offer is called ridge augmentation, which helps restore the necessary bone structure for dental implants. During this procedure, the dentist gently lifts the gums to expose the affected bone area. A bone-like material is then used to fill in the defects, promoting new bone growth.
Ridge augmentation not only enhances the appearance of your mouth but also significantly increases the likelihood of successful implant placement. With this procedure, your implants can provide long-lasting results, allowing you to regain both function and confidence in your smile. If you’re interested in learning more about ridge augmentation and how it can benefit you, don’t hesitate to contact our office for a consultation.
