Ridge Augmentation Surgery
Restore jaw shape and strength with ridge augmentation surgery for future dental implants.
Ridge augmentation surgery is a procedure that rebuilds jawbone lost after tooth extraction or injury. It restores natural contours, strengthens the bone, and creates a stable foundation for dental implants, ensuring long-term oral health and improved smile aesthetics.
Ridge augmentation surgery works by placing bone graft material into areas of jawbone loss. Over time, the graft fuses with natural bone, rebuilding strength and structure. This creates a solid, healthy foundation for future dental implants or restorative treatments.
Ridge augmentation surgery helps restore lost bone and natural facial contours, improving oral health and appearance. It creates a strong base for dental implants, enhances stability of restorations, and prevents long-term complications from tooth loss, ensuring confidence in your smile.
