Improve the Look of Your Gumline With Augmentation

A ridge augmentation procedure rebuilds and strengthens your jawbone. It’s often needed when you’ve lost teeth, as this can cause your jawbone to shrink over time. The treatment involves adding bone-like material or tissue to your jaw, creating a solid base for dental implants or other tooth replacements.

Here’s what you can expect during ridge augmentation:

  • A consultation to assess your needs
  • Detailed imaging of your jaw using advanced technology
  • Local anesthesia to keep you comfortable
  • Careful placement of the augmentation material
  • A healing period of several months
  • Follow-up visits to check your progress

At our office, we use digital X-rays and a 3-D cone beam CT scanner for precise treatment planning. These instruments help us create a detailed map of your jaw, ensuring the most precise and effective treatment possible.

There’s no need to feel nervous about an augmentation procedure.

The healing process is different for everyone, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. As your jaw heals, new bone will grow, creating a stronger foundation for your future dental work.
