If you are a dentist looking to refer your patients to a periodontal dentist for ridge augmentation procedures, or if you are a patient who has been referred, Periodontics Dental Implants is here for you. We offer the highest quality customer service and the most personalized ridge augmentation procedures and care in all of Los Angeles and Southern California.

When a tooth falls out or is removed with a tooth extraction procedure, the tooth may be replaced with a dental implant. A dental implant will keep your smile in tact and fix any gaps that may have resulted from a missing tooth or tooth extraction. However, if a dental implant is not used to fill the gap created from a missing or extracted tooth, an indentation can form in the gums and jawbone in the area where the tooth used to stand. Since the jawbone and gums are no longer holding a tooth, they can begin to pull back and recede. On occasion, indentations can occur even when a dental implant is used, as the gums and jawbone react to the original tooth having been removed.

If you or one of your patients is suffering from indentations in the gums resulting from a missing tooth or tooth extraction, Periodontics Dental Implants can repair his or her smile with a ridge augmentation procedure. A ridge augmentation procedure fills out any indentations in the gums, restoring the natural contour of the smile. Once the ridge augmentation procedure is complete, a dental implant can be used to restore the smile and prevent any more indentations from forming.

During the ridge augmentation procedure, the gums and jawbone are contoured to match the rest of the smile and achieve a consistent look across all teeth. Then, a dental implant is inserted in order to fill gaps in the smile and prevent furthering indenting. The procedure is quick and requires minimal downtime.
