Prepare for Implants With a Ridge Augmentation

Living with missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. Over time, tooth loss or wearing dentures can lead to decreased bone mass in your jaw. But don’t worry – there’s a solution. If you are interested in dental implants, your dentist can perform a ridge augmentation in Livonia. The surgical procedure will:

Ensure Implant Success Rate – By reshaping your gum and jaw, you can expect a successful outcome for your implants.
Heal Smoothly and Quickly – Using advanced PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) healing techniques, you can expect a smooth and fast healing process.
Restore Facial Appearance – Rebuild lost bone structure to prevent a sunken or aged appearance in your face.
Improve Oral Function – You’ll gain a strong foundation that supports better biting, chewing, and speaking.
Boost Replacement Teeth Options – Restoring your jaw and gumline opens you up to more possibilities for tooth replacement solutions.

Replace Your Missing Teeth With Implants

We Offer Many Options

Without the stimulation of natural tooth roots, the bone in your jaw begins to weaken. A ridge augmentation can reshape the area to support implants and other restorations. Once the procedure is complete, you can move forward with:

All-on-4 Implants – Transform your smile with a complete arch of teeth supported by just four precisely placed implants.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction – This procedure combines dental implants with other restorative techniques.
Implant Dentures – You can secure your dentures to dental implants for better oral function and jawbone health.

Your dentist will work with you to select the best approach for your needs.

Sedation Options – Choose oral sedation or IV sedation to help you feel calm and at ease throughout your procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ridge Augmentations

What is ridge augmentation?

A ridge augmentation is when your dentist builds up your jaw ridge where you have one or more missing teeth. They will add gum tissue, bone tissue, or both to the ridge to prepare the jaw for implants and/or to make your jaw ridge more attractive. A ridge augmentation recaptures the natural contour of your jaw and gums.

Is ridge augmentation safe?

Yes, a ridge augmentation is a perfectly safe dental procedure. Over the years, our dental team has performed many of these procedures, so you can feel comfortable with us in charge of your care. We’ll take every precaution to ensure that your procedure is carried out with the best safety measures in a sterile environment.

Why would I need ridge augmentation?

Ridge augmentation is often performed to prepare a patient’s mouth to receive dental implants. If the jaw is too thin or the ridge isn’t tall enough to support implants, then augmentation may be needed. Ridge augmentation is also done to make the area where you’ve lost a tooth more attractive. Building up the ridge will ensure a more natural-looking jawline.
