Ridge Augmentation in Hawthorne, CA

What Is Ridge Augmentation?

When a tooth is removed or lost, the supporting bone can shrink over time. This process may cause visible depressions in the gums and weaken the bone that future implants would rely on. Ridge augmentation corrects these issues by adding bone graft material to rebuild both height and width of the jaw ridge.

This treatment helps patients who want to:

• Restore natural gum and jaw contours for a balanced appearance
• Prepare for long-lasting implant-supported restorations
• Prevent further collapse of the jaw structure
• Improve bite strength and overall oral function

The Ridge Augmentation Process

Each treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs. Depending on your case, ridge augmentation may include:

1. Bone Graft Placement – Bone material is added to the targeted area.
2. Guided Healing – Protective membranes may be used to encourage bone regrowth and stabilize the graft.
3. Integration Period – Over several months, the graft fuses with your natural bone to create a stronger ridge.
4. Preparation for Implants – Once healed, the area can support implants, bridges, or other restorative dentistry treatments.
