Ridge Augmentation

Restore Your Smile’s Health

Rebuild Your Jaw & Gumline With Ridge Augmentation in El Paso

Using El Paso ridge augmentation, you can expect a stronger, fuller jawline that sets the stage for a confident smile. We use this treatment to rebuild your jaw after tooth loss or damage, making it ready for implants or just improving its shape. Losing teeth can shrink your jawbone over time, but your dentist steps in with expert care to fix that. Here’s what ridge rebuilding offers you:

  • Restores jawbone lost to tooth removal
  • Prepares your mouth for dental implants
  • Evens out a sunken or uneven jaw
  • Strengthens support for nearby teeth
  • Improves chewing and speaking ease
  • Enhances your face’s natural contours
  • Boosts confidence with a better smile

Get a Better Smile With Jaw Augmentation

Augmentation surgery supplements your jaw when it’s lost strength or shape. You might need this procedure if tooth loss has left your jawbone too thin or weak, which is common after extractions or gum disease. Without enough bone, dental implants can’t anchor well, and your face might look sunken. This treatment fixes that by adding bone material to bulk up the ridge.

Once your jaw is ready, teeth replacement with implants brings big wins:

  • They look and feel like real teeth.
  • Your teeth will stay put without slipping.
  • You'll chew tough foods comfortably.
  • Implants help stop further bone loss in your jaw.
Augmentation makes these perks possible by giving implants a sturdy base. The process is simple: we numb the area, place bone material (either from you or a donor), and let it integrate into your jaw over the course of a few months. We keep you comfortable with sedation if needed. You’ll notice a stronger jaw for lasting implants, as well as a fuller face shape.

Common Questions About Ridge Augmentation

What is ridge augmentation?

We perform this procedure if your jaw isn’t wide enough to support dental implants. It involves adding bone graft material to a small ridge along the top of your upper or lower jaw. It may be necessary if you’ve lost height and width in your jaw after losing teeth. In addition to preparing you for implant placement, it improves your appearance.

How much does ridge augmentation cost?

The cost will vary, depending on the specific type of procedure and the materials used to replace bone and encourage new growth. In many cases, at least some of the cost may be covered by dental insurance and/or health insurance. That’s because the procedure may be required to restore your oral health and function.

Is ridge augmentation safe?

Yes, a ridge augmentation is a perfectly safe dental procedure. 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.
