Ridge Augmentation to Treat Indentations in the Gum and Jawbone
Tooth loss causes the jawbone to recede and can lead to an unnatural looking indentation in your gums and jaw, an appearance of a general aging. The original look of your mouth may not be recaptured because of spaces remaining under and between replacement teeth. They may appear too long compared to nearby teeth.
Ridge augmentation can fill defects in the area of missing teeth and re-establish the natural contour of the gums and jaw.
