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.

this place is the best 10/10 recommend the EXTREMELY clean very modern beautiful place and the area is amazing. Dr. Mendigutia and Selene are wonderful and work so precisely and beautifully and they both are the best of the best. i am personally very squeamish when it comes to the dentist so they both make sure i feel relaxed and confident before any procedure and it’s absolutely true!!! i didn’t feel a pinch. if you are looking for a good place to get work done to your teeth somewhere this is your sign to stop searching and make a call to them you definitely won’t regret it trust me (:
