Bone & Ridge Augmentation
What is Bone Augmentation?
Bone augmentation is a surgical procedure used to rebuild or regenerate lost jawbone, allowing for the stable placement of dental implants. It involves the use of bone graft material (natural or synthetic) to increase the bone volume where it has diminished due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma.
When is Bone Augmentation Needed?
the jawbone is too thin or soft to hold an implant securely
After tooth extractions where bone naturally shrinks
When periodontal (gum) disease has caused bone deterioration
To prepare for implants or sinus lift in severely resorbed bone areas
Benefits of Bone Augmentation
Enables dental implants in areas with insufficient bone
Prevents further jawbone shrinkage
Improves long-term implant stability and success
Restores natural bone contours for better aesthetics
Boosts overall facial structure and support
Process
3D Imaging & Planning
CBCT scan to measure bone volume and plan the graft
Surgical Bone Grafting
Bone material is placed at the deficient site, often secured with a membrane
Healing Period
Over 4–6 months, the graft integrates and becomes natural bone
Implant Placement
Once healed, dental implants are placed in the newly regenerated bone
FAQs(Bone Augmentation)
It is a procedure to rebuild lost jawbone for successful implant placement.
Not always; it’s needed only when there’s insufficient bone.
Grafted bone integrates with your natural bone over time, forming a strong base.
What is Ridge Augmentation?
Ridge augmentation is a form of bone grafting aimed at rebuilding the natural contour of the jawbone and gums after tooth loss or trauma. It corrects depressions or deformities in the bone ridge, ensuring a more natural appearance and improved fit for dental implants or dentures.
When is Ridge Augmentation Needed?
the jawbone ridge has collapsed due to long-term tooth loss
After traumatic extractions or injuries that distort the jawline
When optimal gum and bone support is needed for implant crowns or bridges
To improve the cosmetic appearance before placing prosthetics
Benefits of Ridge Augmentation
Restores natural jaw shape and contour
Improves implant alignment and fit
Prevents food traps and speech issues from sunken gums
Enhances the aesthetics of implant-supported teeth
Ensures long-term implant durability
Process
Bone & Gum Evaluation
Digital scans to assess jaw ridge condition
Graft Placement
Bone graft and membranes are placed along the ridge line
Healing Phase
4–6 months for bone and soft tissue to regenerate
Restoration
Final implants or prosthetics are placed once bone volume is optimal
