About us

A ridge augmentation is a type of dental surgery that evens out the bone around teeth. It is also used to prevent further damage to the teeth and jawbone. This surgery is often performed on people who have lost one or more teeth, as well as those who have suffered from periodontal disease. At A+ Family Dentistry, we use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.

What Does Ridge Augmentation Do?

A ridge augmentation procedure fills in the spaces that are created when teeth are lost. This helps to support the remaining teeth and to prevent further damage to the jawbone. In addition, a ridge augmentation can improve the appearance of your smile by making it look fuller and more symmetrical. Ridge augmentations are also key for patients who are seeking a dental implant, as they help to provide a strong foundation for the implant.

signs you may need ridge augmentation

Although a consultation with our professionals can help to determine whether or not you need a ridge augmentation procedure, some signs that this may be the right treatment for you are:

Is Sedation Required For Ridge Augmentation?

No, sedation is not required for ridge augmentation. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, which numbs the area around the surgical site. You may experience some discomfort during the procedure, but should not feel any pain. If you have anxiety about dental procedures, talk to our team about medication or sedation options to help you relax. The procedure is finished within a couple of hours and you will be able to go home the same day.
