The alveolar ridge of the jaw is the bone that encircles the roots of your teeth. When a tooth is removed, your alveolar ridge bone experiences an empty socket. While this socket will usually heal on its own and fill up with bone and tissue, sometimes this isn’t possible.
In this case, ridge augmentation may be a good decision. It can reconstruct the original height and width of your alveolar ridge so a dental implant can be effectively placed.
Dr. Amin Samadian, a top dentist in San Francisco, and his team may suggest ridge augmentation if you have teeth that have fallen out or that have been surgically removed and are planning to receive dental implants but the bone is not strong enough to hold the implant. You may also benefit from this treatment if you have broken or damaged alveoli, as it can fill empty cavities with a bone graft. In the event you can’t obtain dental implants because of low bone density or lack of bone, ridge augmentation is ideal.
