When a tooth has been missing for a long time, the jaw ridge can become narrow or uneven. Ridge augmentation rebuilds this area, restoring the natural contour of the bone and improving both appearance and implant stability.
During the procedure, grafting material is placed to increase width or height where needed. Over time, the body regenerates bone, creating a stronger, more ideal foundation for restoration.
Beyond implant preparation, ridge augmentation can enhance overall smile aesthetics by supporting proper gum shape and facial structure.
