Ridge Augmentation
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
