Ridge Augmentation

A surgical procedure used to recreate the natural contour of the gums and jawbone that may have been lost due to bone resorption following a tooth extraction.

Why It Matters

After a tooth is removed, the socket collapses, leaving an indentation. This makes placing an implant difficult and causes an aesthetic "dip" in the gum line. Augmentation fills this defect.

Clinical Details

Material: Usually a mix of autogenous bone and bovine bone mineral.
