Ridge Augmentation in Elk Grove, IL

After losing a tooth, you may experience jaw bone loss if left untreated. That's why you may hear your doctor recommend ridge augmentation after tooth loss, an extraction, or before getting dental implants. Ridge augmentation recreates the natural contour of the gums and jaw bone to restore its previous function and form. Not only that, but it avoids the need for extra surgery after an extraction. Ridge augmentation is a necessary procedure so that you can keep the natural function and look of your smile.

Why should I choose ridge augmentation?

After tooth extraction, the jaw bone may need to be rebuilt and reshaped to make sure that your mouth can accommodate a dental implant, or for aesthetic purposes. Not everyone needs ridge augmentation, but it’s often done immediately after tooth extraction to avoid the need for another surgery. If your oral surgeon believes that your jaw bone may need strengthening, it’s a good idea to get ridge augmentation during your tooth extraction procedure.
