Great treatment for future care
Ridge augmentation is necessary if you've been without teeth for a while. When you lose teeth, your bones sometimes have a tendency to reabsorb. If you're looking to replace those missing teeth, sometimes we have to add bone. It's important to have strong, healthy bone if you are looking to replace missing teeth. So if you find yourself in that situation, please come see us here at McRae Family Dental to restore your bone, so we can get you some more teeth.

Get Your Jaw in Shape With a Ridge Augmentation Procedure
If you want a dental implant to replace a missing tooth, your jaw ridge must be deep enough and wide enough to support the implant. If it’s not, a ridge augmentation procedure may be performed to prepare your jaw for the implant.
Another reason you might have a ridge enhancement procedure is for aesthetic reasons; you simply want your gums and jawline to look more attractive. Or perhaps you’re not getting an implant right away but may do so in the future. Whatever the reason, McRae Family Dental can perform a jaw ridge augmentation to make your bone stronger and healthier.
To augment the jaw ridge, your dentist will place bone material where your tooth previously was. Over the course of a few months, new bone tissue will grow at the site where the bone material was placed.
Now, the area will be ready to support a dental implant if that is what you want. Even if you aren’t getting an implant right away, the extraction site will be ready for an implant when you decide to get one.
If you need an Athens ridge augmentation, McRae Family Dental will be glad to help. Call us today at one of our three area locations to schedule a consultation:
