If you have missing teeth, your jaw tends to lose its shape because your bone shrinks in the area you have lost your teeth. Before we place dental implants in your mouth, we may need to prepare your mouth with a ridge augmentation in Atlanta. This procedure will:

With a ridge augmentation procedure, we’ll recreate the natural contours of your gum and jawline along the alveolar ridge of the jaw. This is the area that surrounds your tooth roots. When your teeth are gone, your bone and gum tissue often fill in the space, but they can diminish without replacement. Then you may deal with bone loss that makes it necessary to perform this procedure.
Once we’ve placed the bone material in your jaw to rebuild the area where you’ve lost teeth and your mouth has healed, we can perform an implant procedure. Since the implants stimulate your jaw the same way as natural tooth roots do, they keep the bone in your jaw intact and strong.
Our implant options include:
Your implant dentist will discuss which option is best for you, depending on your unique smile situation. We’ll use digital X-rays and 3-D CT scanning to plan your procedure to ensure the most successful outcome. If you are nervous about any treatment we are performing, you can relax with laughing gas sedation. It’ll give you a sense of calm during your appointment, but you’ll still be able to drive home.

Best dentist ever! Dr. Patel and his staff are friendly, gentle, professional, knowledgeable and efficient. My boyfriend referred me to 19th Street. My root canal was failing. Dr. Patel removed the bad tooth as quick and painless as possible. He understands aesthetics and set me a temporary tooth while I wait on my implant. I trust him with my dental health and highly recommend.
Our family have been seeing Dr. Patel for our dental needs for years and he and his staff are phenomenal. They listen, take care, remedy dental issues immediately and work with your insurance for proper care. I highly recommend them the best! Hubbard Family

We perform this procedure if your jaw isn’t wide enough to support dental implants. It involves adding bone graft material to a small ridge along the top of your upper or lower jaw. It may be necessary if you’ve lost height and width in your jaw after losing teeth. In addition to preparing you for implant placement, it improves your appearance.
Yes, a ridge augmentation is a perfectly safe dental procedure. Over the years, our dental team has performed many of these procedures, so you can feel comfortable with us in charge of your care. We’ll take every precaution to ensure that your procedure is carried out with the best safety measures in a sterile environment.
Ridge augmentation is often performed to prepare a patient’s mouth to receive dental implants. If the jaw is too thin or the ridge isn’t tall enough to support implants, then augmentation may be needed. Ridge augmentation is also done to make the area where you’ve lost a tooth more attractive. Building up the ridge will ensure a more natural-looking jawline.
