Understanding Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation is a type of oral surgery used to rebuild the alveolar ridge of the jaw, which can lose density and volume following tooth loss. This procedure often involves using bone grafts to build up the ridge, ensuring that it can support dental implants or improve the appearance of the gums.
