- [What is a Ridge Augmentation?](https://northaustinoralsurgery.com/what-is-a-ridge-augmentation/): A Ridge Augmentation is a common dental procedure often performed following a tooth extraction. This procedure helps recreate the natural contour of the gums and jaw that may have been lost due to bone loss from a Tooth Extraction, or for another reason.The alveolar ridge of the jaw is the bone that surrounds the roots of teeth. When a tooth is removed an empty socket is left in the alveolar ridge bone. Usually this empty socket will heal on its own, filling with bone and tissue. Sometimes when a tooth is removed the bone surrounding the socket breaks and is unable to heal on its own. The previous height and width of the socket will continue to deteriorate.Rebuilding the original height and width of the alveolar ridge is not always medically necessary, but may be required for dental implant placement or for aesthetic purposes. Dental implants require bone to support their structure and a ridge augmentation can help rebuild this bone to accommodate the implant.https://northaustinoralsurgery.com/wp-content/uploads/file-8.mp4

This allows for both forward and backward movement, as well as vertical or lateral adjustments, depending on your goals.
- [Dental Implants](https://northaustinoralsurgery.com/services/dental-implants/): Dental Implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth that can’t be restored with a filling or crown. They are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots.
