Ridge Augmentation

Ridge Augmentation procedures are used to correct concavities in the jawbone where natural teeth are missing. They can correct depressions in your gum line that are unnatural looking and sometimes make you appear older that you are. They can be used to prevent the jawbone from collapsing following tooth extraction. Ridge augmentation is also used to even out replacement teeth that may seem too long compared to adjacent teeth.

What are Dental Implant?

Dental implants are tiny titanium posts that fill the role played by a tooth’s roots. The implants are placed in the jawbone, and bone grows around them, providing a strong foundation for the replacement teeth. Dental implants provide significant long-term advantages: They help stop the bone loss that occurs over time after a tooth is lost, often creating a “sunken” facial appearance in people who have lost all of their teeth. They enable people to eat and chew whatever they like, avoiding compromises to health because of poor nutritional intake. They give patients the confidence that they had with their natural teeth, freeing them to smile, talk and chew without embarrassment.

Dental implants allow people who have lost teeth to enjoy the function, appearance and permanence that their natural teeth once provided. They can be used to replace a single tooth, a partial, a bridge, or full dentures.
