Ridge Augmentation

Renew Your Attractive Gumline

Replace What's Missing With a Ridge Augmentation in Belmont

Gaining a complete smile starts with a strong foundation. A ridge augmentation in Belmont rebuilds the bone in your jaw that has diminished over time. This procedure will prepare your jaw for dental implants or other treatments. We use advanced techniques to restore your natural jaw contour.

With this procedure, you are one step closer to getting back a full set of healthy teeth. Soon you will bite into an apple or smile in photos without hesitation. Gaining a newly transformed bite begins by scheduling a consultation. Your dentist will make the process comfortable, straightforward, and focused on your goals.

Reveal a Confident Smile

Bone loss in your jaw happens naturally after teeth go missing. This can prevent you from getting dental implants. A ridge augmentation solves this problem by rebuilding your jaw's foundation. With this procedure, we will:

Conduct a thorough examination of your mouth and jaw
Capture digital X-rays to see where bone has been lost
Numb the area for your complete comfort
Add specialized bone material to rebuild your jaw and gumline
Gently close the surgical area to begin the healing process

Your mouth will heal over several weeks as new bone forms. This creates the perfect base for your future implants.

Restore Your Bite

Once your mouth has healed, you'll return here for your implant procedure. We offer several options to suit your specific needs. Your augmentation may be part of a dental implant treatment plan that includes:

Implant dentures to secure your restorations to a stronger foundation
All-on-X to secure your new teeth to fewer implants
A full-mouth reconstruction to rebuild your entire smile

Your ridge augmentation prepares your jaw for these options. Once you have completed the procedure, you'll notice improvements in comfort and confidence. Your new teeth will function much like normal teeth.

Schedule your ridge augmentation in Belmont to get started.

Will I experience pain during my ridge augmentation?

You'll remain comfortable during your ridge augmentation procedure with local anesthesia. We offer sedation if you feel anxious about dental treatments. You may feel slight pressure but no pain during the actual procedure. We'll provide specific pain management instructions and medication recommendations for your recovery period.

Can I get dental implants immediately after ridge augmentation?

You'll typically need to wait after your ridge augmentation before receiving dental implants. This waiting period allows the grafted bone to fully integrate with your existing jawbone. Your dentist will monitor your healing progress with follow-up appointments and imaging. This patience ensures your implants have the strong foundation they need for long-term success.

Is ridge augmentation always necessary before getting dental implants?

You may not need ridge augmentation if you have adequate bone density in your jaw. Your dentist will thoroughly evaluate your jaw structure using advanced imaging technology. You may qualify for specialized implant techniques that work with minimal bone volume. We always recommend the least invasive treatment approach that will provide successful, long-lasting results for your specific situation.
