Restore the natural contour of your jawline with ridge reconstruction at BioDental. This advanced procedure addresses bone loss caused by tooth extraction, trauma, or periodontal disease. By rebuilding the alveolar ridge, we ensure a solid foundation for dental implants or improve the appearance and functionality of your smile.
Restore the Alveolar Bridge
Ridge reconstruction is a dental procedure that restores the natural shape and structure of the alveolar ridge, the bony area that supports your teeth. When teeth are lost or removed, the surrounding bone may shrink or deteriorate, leading to aesthetic and functional concerns. Ridge reconstruction uses advanced techniques to rebuild this area, creating a stable foundation for dental implants or other restorative treatments. At BioDental, we focus on biomimetic, metal-free solutions to enhance oral health while preserving natural tissue.
Ridge Reconstruction Helps With:
- Bone loss caused by tooth extractions or trauma
- Jawbone deterioration due to periodontal disease
- Sunken facial appearance resulting from bone resorption
- Irregularities in the jawline that affect aesthetics
- Insufficient bone structure for dental implant placement
- Gum and soft tissue defects near missing teeth
- Difficulty with dentures or bridges due to an uneven ridge
- Structural damage from prolonged tooth loss or infection
What Is the Ridge Reconstruction Process?
Ridge reconstruction is a precise procedure tailored to restore your jaw’s natural shape and strength. Dr. Matian begins by assessing your bone structure using advanced digital imaging for accurate planning. During the procedure, biocompatible grafting material is placed to rebuild the ridge, encouraging new bone growth and stability. Depending on your needs, soft tissue may also be adjusted to enhance aesthetics and function. With Dr. Matian’s expertise, you’ll achieve a healthy, functional foundation for a beautiful smile.
Benefits of Ridge Reconstruction:
- Restoring a natural, symmetrical jawline
- Creating a strong foundation for dental implants
- Improving the fit and comfort of dentures or bridges
- Enhancing facial aesthetics and preventing sunken features
- Preserving oral health by preventing further bone loss
- Supporting better chewing and speech functionality
- Ensuring long-term stability of restorative dental work
What Causes Bone Loss in the Jaw?
Bone loss in the jaw can occur due to tooth extractions, trauma, periodontal disease, or prolonged tooth loss. When a tooth is missing, the bone in that area may shrink because it no longer receives stimulation from chewing forces. Over time, this resorption can lead to aesthetic changes, difficulty with dental restorations, and functional issues like misaligned bites.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes, the results of ridge reconstruction are long-lasting, especially when combined with proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits. The biocompatible materials used encourage natural bone growth, creating a stable and durable foundation for future dental restorations.
