A Middleburg ridge augmentation is used to rebuild the natural contour of your gums and jaw if they’ve been affected by tooth loss, injury, or periodontal disease. If you’re missing teeth and feel self-conscious about your smile, this procedure may be the solution for you. In addition to improving the appearance of your smile, an augmentation can also make it possible to get dental implants if your jawbone is weak. Here are several benefits of having a ridge augmentation procedure:

As soon as you lose a tooth, you’ll also begin losing bone mass in your jaw. This bone loss can make it difficult to get dental implants, as there may not be enough bone to support them. That’s where a ridge augmentation procedure comes in.
With augmentation of the jaw ridge, your dentist will rebuild the bone in your jaw to create a more stable foundation for dental implants or for esthetic purposes. Here’s what you can expect from ridge augmentation treatment:

Had pain on left side of my face over the weekend. Called little after 8 AM Monday morning and was able to get treatment and was back home by 1PM. We’ve been going to this dentist since early last year. Would recommend for any service needed. Whole staff is very friendly and love Dr Huaman.
I absolutely love our hygienist Ashley! She is so patient and takes her time! My son literally hates to get anything done in his mouth. She makes it fun for him! So happy to have such a great dental team for my family!!!
Great place to get dental care. When you walk in the door they are very friendly. The DR is fantastic I couldn’t feel the shots he gave me he preformed his work quickly and gives through after care instructions. The staff of assistants are friendly helpful and energetic I will definitely be going back.
So happy they were able to get me in. The office is very close to my home which makes it very convenient, the staff was friendly and Dr Huaman was very good at explaining all of my options. Ashley my hygienist was great!
The staff were all amazing. I felt welcomed and well taken care of. They took their time and explained everything to me. This will be my forever dentist. Very pleased!
I’ve dreaded going to the dentist for years. I chipped my front tooth and then chipped it again. I considered just living with it because I didn’t want to get a “talking to” like I was a child from the dentist. Dr. Hauman treated me like a human and really gave me encouragement. He fixed my tooth and it looks good as new. We also established a long term plan to fix other dental issues. I never felt judged and most importantly never had pain.
Went in for an emergency visit and loved the place so much that I came back to get established. Everyone is so friendly and helpful! They tell you exactly what they’re doing as they’re doing it and continuously check to make sure you’re comfortable. They also know what you’re looking at for payment as well as how much insurance will be used and how much you have left for the year. They’re much more high tech than my previous dentist and were able to identify issues that weren’t obvious with typical xrays. The place is easy to get to, easy to find the building, and has plenty of parking. Going there is just like having a friend that’s a dentist!
Very pleased. Dr Huaman took time & explained everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better dentist & staff! Highly recommend.
Best dentist office with friendly staff. They treat patients with respect and care they never have done work that hasn’t needed which I can’t say for a lot of others. I would recommend highly!
I have been coming here since 2012. Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. I trust their recommendations for dental care as they want you to have the best quality care.
A ridge augmentation is when your dentist builds up your jaw ridge where you have one or more missing teeth. They will add gum tissue, bone tissue, or both to the ridge to prepare the jaw for implants and/or to make your jaw ridge more attractive. A ridge augmentation recaptures the natural contour of your jaw and gums.
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.
No. We will completely numb your mouth with local anesthesia prior to your augmentation procedure. In addition, you can receive dental sedation to keep you relaxed throughout your treatment. During recovery, you may experience some minor swelling and discomfort. This is typically easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
