Deformities in the upper or lower jaw can leave you with inadequate bone in which to place dental implants. This defect may have been caused by periodontal disease, wearing dentures, developmental defects, injury or trauma. Not only does this deformity causes problems in placing the implant, it can also cause an unattractive indentation in the jaw line near the missing teeth that may be difficult to clean and maintain.
To correct the problem, the gum is lifted away from the ridge to expose the bony defect. The defect is then filled with bone or bone substitute to build up the ridge. Dr. Noruzi will discuss your options for graft materials, which can help to regenerate lost bone and tissue.
Ridge augmentation has been shown to greatly improve appearance and increase your chances for successful implants. Ridge augmentation will enhance your restorative success both esthetically and functionally.
