At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, our dentist and team offer ridge augmentation to rebuild areas of the jaw where bone loss has occurred. This procedure is often necessary following tooth loss, trauma or periodontal disease, and it plays an important role in restoring natural contours to the jawbone. Ridge augmentation helps support long-term oral health, improves facial aesthetics and can prepare the mouth for future restorative treatments.
This periodontal procedure is part of a comprehensive approach to maintaining the integrity of the jawbone. By restoring lost bone volume, we help patients regain stability, function and the foundation needed for long-lasting dental solutions.
What to Expect During Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation begins with a clinical evaluation and diagnostic imaging. Our dentist will assess the extent of bone loss and develops a surgical plan based on individual needs. A cone beam scan is often used to capture a 3D view of the area, allowing for precise graft placement and treatment planning.
The procedure involves adding bone graft material to the deficient ridge. This may include the use of biologically compatible materials that stimulate natural bone regeneration. Depending on the complexity of the case, the gum tissue may be secured over the graft and allowed to heal for several months before further treatment is completed.
During recovery, patients are provided with detailed instructions to support healing. Our team monitors progress closely through follow-up appointments and makes recommendations to ensure the best outcome.
Preserving Bone Health and Supporting Future Treatment
Ridge augmentation restores the natural shape and volume of the jaw, which is important for both function and aesthetics. It is often recommended when a patient plans to receive dental implants or when structural support is needed for surrounding teeth and tissues.
The procedure helps prevent further deterioration of the jawbone and promotes a more stable oral environment. Our dentist and team use careful technique and evidence-based protocols to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications.
