Ridge Augmentation – Restoring Your Jaw for a Healthy, Natural Smile
At our Huntington Beach’s Specialty Dental Clinic, our periodontal specialists offer ridge augmentation to rebuild and restore the natural shape of your jaw and gums after tooth loss, injury, or bone deterioration. This procedure is often an important step in preparing for dental implants or improving the appearance of your smile.
What Is Ridge Augmentation?
When a tooth is lost or removed, the surrounding jawbone can shrink or lose its natural contour over time. Ridge augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses bone graft material to rebuild and reshape the jaw ridge, restoring proper volume and height.
Why Ridge Augmentation May Be Needed
To replace bone lost after tooth extraction
To correct bone defects caused by injury, gum disease, or congenital issues
To create a solid foundation for dental implants
To improve the appearance of the gums and smile
The Ridge Augmentation Process
Consultation & Planning – We use advanced imaging to assess your jawbone and determine the best approach.
Bone Grafting – Bone graft material is placed in the deficient area to encourage new bone growth.
Healing Period – Over the next few months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a stable base for future treatments.
Follow-Up Treatment – Once healed, dental implants, bridges, or dentures can be placed securely.
