A Ridge Augmentation treatment is a dental procedure aimed at restoring the natural contours of the jawbone after tooth extraction. It helps maintain facial structure and supports future dental work effectively.
Ridge Augmentation is a dental procedure performed to restore and rebuild the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction. The alveolar ridge is the bone that surrounds and supports the teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Ridge augmentation is commonly done to ensure there is enough bone volume and structure for future dental treatments, such as the placement of dental implants.
Here are some important points about Ridge Augmentation Treatment:
We'll start by discussing your dental health history and conducting a thorough examination of your gums and jawbone.
We'll explain the need for ridge augmentation, which is often recommended when a tooth extraction has resulted in bone loss or when preparing for a dental implant.
Once we determine that a ridge augmentation is necessary for you, we'll create a personalized treatment plan.
We'll explain the procedure, expected outcomes, and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Before the day of the procedure, we'll provide you with specific instructions to follow, such as fasting if necessary.
We may prescribe antibiotics or other medications to prevent infection and promote healing.
On the day of the procedure, we'll ensure your comfort by using local anesthesia to numb the treatment area.
If needed, we can also discuss sedation options to help you relax during the procedure.
A small incision is made in the gum tissue to access the underlying bone.
Bone graft material is used to augment the ridge, which can come from your body, a donor, or synthetic sources. The graft material is carefully placed in the deficient area to encourage new bone growth, and the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures to aid in the healing process.
We'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to follow at home, including dietary recommendations and oral hygiene tips.
It's crucial to attend any follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure everything is going as planned.
Over the next few months, the bone graft will integrate with your existing bone, strengthening the ridge for future dental work.
During this healing period, it's essential to avoid putting excessive pressure on the treated area to promote successful integration.
Once the ridge augmentation has healed and stabilized, we can proceed with further dental treatments, such as dental implants or other restorative procedures, to restore your smile.
Ridge Augmentation can enhance dental health by restoring bone volume lost due to tooth extraction. This procedure facilitates successful dental implant placement, improves aesthetics, and maintains proper jaw structure, ensuring long-term stability and functionality.
