At Dentistry at Happy Canyon, we understand the importance of a strong and healthy jawline in supporting not only your teeth but also your overall facial structure. Ridge augmentation is a specialized procedure we offer to help restore the natural contour and strength of your jaw, particularly after tooth loss or trauma. This treatment is vital for those considering dental implants or simply seeking to regain the confidence that comes with a well-structured smile.
What is Ridge Augmentation?
Ridge augmentation is a procedure designed to rebuild the natural contours of the gums and jawbone that may have been lost due to tooth extraction, gum disease or injury. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone can begin to deteriorate, leading to a sunken or uneven appearance in the jawline. This not only affects your appearance but can also complicate future dental treatments like implants.
By performing ridge augmentation, we aim to restore the natural shape and volume of your jawbone. This involves placing bone grafting material in the affected area, which promotes the growth of new bone and helps maintain the structure of your jaw. The result is a more balanced and healthy foundation for any future dental work.
