Ridge augmentation is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the natural contour of the jawbone, often necessary when bone loss has occurred due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or trauma. At London Dental Specialists, we follow a structured process to ensure optimal outcomes: beginning with a comprehensive consultation and assessment, we develop a customised treatment plan, perform the augmentation procedure using appropriate bone grafting materials, and provide detailed post-operative care instructions to support healing and integration. This meticulous approach not only enhances the success of subsequent dental implant placements but also improves overall oral health and aesthetics.

Ridge augmentation is a dental procedure performed to rebuild the alveolar ridge, which is the bone that surrounds the roots of teeth. This procedure is typically necessary when bone loss occurs following tooth extraction or due to periodontal disease. At London Dental Specialists, our ridge augmentation procedure helps recreate the natural contour of your gums and jaw, providing a solid foundation for dental implants or improving the appearance of your smile.

Our specialists at London Dental Specialists will assess your specific situation to determine if ridge augmentation is necessary for your treatment plan.
At London Dental Specialists, ridge augmentation typically involves these steps:
The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours to complete and is performed on an outpatient basis.
Ridge augmentation at London Dental Specialists is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, ensuring you won't feel pain during the procedure. Following surgery, some discomfort and swelling are normal but can be effectively managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients report that the discomfort is less than expected and subsides within a few days. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to minimise discomfort and promote healing.
The healing process for ridge augmentation typically takes 4-6 months. During this time, the bone graft material integrates with your natural bone to create a stronger, more substantial ridge. The initial recovery period lasts about 1-2 weeks, during which you may experience swelling and minor discomfort. Complete healing, where the bone is fully matured and ready for implant placement (if applicable), generally occurs within 4-6 months, depending on individual healing factors.
The primary objectives of ridge augmentation at London Dental Specialists include:
At London Dental Specialists, we use several types of bone graft materials for ridge augmentation:
Our specialists will recommend the most appropriate material based on your specific clinical situation and needs.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, the results of ridge augmentation can last a lifetime. The augmented bone becomes a permanent part of your jaw structure. However, maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular follow-up appointments at London Dental Specialists are essential to ensure the long-term success of the procedure. If dental implants are placed in the augmented ridge, proper maintenance of these implants is also crucial for preserving the bone structure.

Our team provides detailed post-operative instructions and is available to address any concerns during your recovery period.
