Ridge Augmentation
Rebuild Your Jaw & Gumline
Make Implants a Reality With Ridge Augmentation in Hoboken
When teeth are lost or removed, the jawbone can gradually shrink over time, leaving a sunken area in your smile. Hoboken ridge augmentation rebuilds this lost bone, creating a strong and natural-looking foundation for dental implants, dentures, or a bridge. At Hoboken Oral Surgeons, we use advanced techniques to restore your jaw's shape and strength. A jaw ridge augmentation will:
- Restore the natural contours of your face and smile
- Prevent further bone loss in the treated area
- Help maintain proper spacing between existing teeth
- Support better chewing function with replacement teeth
- Boost confidence by eliminating sunken areas in your smile
Our surgical team has helped countless patients rebuild their smiles. We understand the impact that bone loss can have on your confidence and dental health, and we're here to help restore both.
Build a Firm Foundation for New Teeth
Augmentation rebuilds areas of your jawbone that have become weak or thin after tooth loss. This procedure uses bone grafting material to restore the height and width of your jaw, creating the perfect foundation for dental implants. The added bone helps ensure your implants will be stable and long-lasting.
During an augmentation surgery, we carefully place the grafting material where your jaw needs extra strength. Over time, your body replaces this material with natural bone. This gives you the strong foundation needed for successful implant placement. This improved bone structure also helps maintain your facial features and smile.
Enjoy All the Benefits of Implants
Ridge enhancement helps make sure you can get all the benefits of dental implants, from a natural-looking smile to reliable biting strength. By building up your jawbone, this treatment creates the strong base needed for new teeth that look and feel like your own teeth.
With a restored foundation, you can smile, laugh, and eat with complete confidence. Dental implants placed in strengthened bone work just like natural teeth. You can enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly without worrying about loose or uncomfortable replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ridge Augmentation
What is ridge augmentation?
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.
How much does ridge augmentation cost?
Ridge augmentation varies in cost, depending on what exactly needs to be done to your jaw and how extensive your treatment will be. After a thorough exam, including X-rays and possibly 3-D imaging, we can give you an accurate idea of what your treatment will cost. We can also answer any other questions you might have about this procedure.
Does ridge augmentation hurt?
No. We will completely numb your mouth with local anesthesia prior to your augmentation procedure. In addition, you have the option of dental sedation to keep you relaxed and pain-free throughout your treatment. During recovery, you may experience some minor swelling and discomfort, which is typically easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
