Ridge Augmentation

Ridge augmentation is a dental procedure performed after a tooth extraction. It involves placing tissue or bone grafting to fill the hole of a missing tooth. This service can also create a healthy contour of the gums and jaw that was lost during the procedure of extraction.

Ridge augmentation can offer many benefits, both aesthetically and functionally. A few of the most notable benefits include:

Ridge augmentation is a relatively simple procedure. The first step is to numb the area with local anesthesia. Once the area is numb, your dentist will make a small incision in your gums. Through this incision, they will place the grafting material. In some cases, this may be bone or soft tissue. In other cases, it may be a man-made material. Once the grafting material is in place, your dentist will close the incision with sutures. The whole process usually takes less than an hour to complete.
