Restoring a Strong Foundation for Your Smile
Ridge modification is an effective procedure used to treat deformities in the upper and lower jaws. These deformities can develop for several reasons, including periodontal disease, trauma, injury, denture use, or developmental conditions.
As a result, these defects can reduce the amount of available bone needed for dental implants. In addition, they may create visible indentations in the jawline near missing teeth.

What To Expect During Ridge Modification And Recovery
During the ridge modification procedure, your surgeon lifts the gum tissue to expose the bone defect. Then, they fill the area with bone graft material or a bone substitute before closing the incision. Once healing begins it usually takes several months.
Depending on your condition, a dental implant may be placed during ridge modification or after healing is complete. This decision depends on the quality and condition of the bone.
Ridge modification offers several important benefits. First, it improves the cosmetic appearance of the jaw. Second, it helps restore proper function. Finally, it increases the success rate and longevity of dental implants.
