FAQs
What is ridge augmentation and why is it needed?
Ridge augmentation is a surgical procedure that rebuilds the natural shape of your jawbone after tooth loss or injury. It’s often necessary to create a stable foundation for dental implants or to improve the appearance of your gums and jawline.
Is ridge augmentation painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. We use local anesthesia and provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
How long does it take to heal from ridge augmentation?
Healing times vary, but generally, it takes a few months for the bone graft to integrate fully. We’ll monitor your progress closely and schedule follow-ups to make sure everything is healing properly.
