Ridge Augmentation

Online Dental Education Library

Please use our dental library to learn more about dental problems and treatments available. If you have questions or need to schedule an appointment, contact us.

Ridge augmentation is a procedure that can shore up dents and other abnormalities in your gum line. People who lose a tooth, for example, may eventually develop a small indentation where the original tooth was located; this sometimes creates an uneven or unsightly gum line. Even if the tooth is replaced, the preceding shrinkage of the gum may cause the replacement tooth to look longer than the others.
