Bone Regeneration

Ridge Augmentation

Bone regeneration procedures are often performed to treat bone loss or prevent natural bone loss and secure an optimal environment for implant placement. “Ridge Augmentation” is one of the most common procedures performed regenerate bone.

“Aleveolar Ridge” is the bone that surrounds the root of the tooth. After tooth extractions, an empty socket remains in the aleveolar ridge bone. Some of the bone surrounding the socket will break during the extraction process, making the socket unable to heal properly. The height and width of the bone will diminish as a result. Since dental implants need ample bone support, a ridge augmentation procedure might be necessary.

Implant Placement

Feel and function like natural teeth

Obtaining an implant is a collaborative process between myself and your general dentist. The surgical is stage, is my part and the reconstructive stage is the part of your general dentist. The surgical procedure is performed to place a titanium implant in the empty tooth socket. Once you are ready for implant placement, you will be given antibiotics a week or so prior to the surgical appointment so as to reduce chances of any infection developing. In order to assure your comfort during the surgery, a couple of options will be discussed prior to the appointment.
