Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation enhances bone structure, preparing your jaw for successful implants and a natural smile.
Ridge Augmentation in Merana, AZ
Ridge augmentation is a procedure that restores the natural shape and width of the jawbone after bone loss, often caused by tooth loss or trauma. When the jaw lacks sufficient bone, it can compromise the appearance and functionality of dental implants. During a ridge augmentation, your dentist will add bone material to the affected area and rebuild the ridge to provide a stable and aesthetically pleasing foundation for implants. At Bria Dental, we specialize in ridge augmentation to help patients achieve the structural support needed for lasting, comfortable implants and a restored smile.
