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 tailored to your specific needs. The procedure involves placing bone graft material to rebuild the alveolar ridge, followed by meticulous post-treatment care to promote healing and prepare the site for future dental implants.

Ridge augmentation is a dental procedure that rebuilds the alveolar ridge, the bone that surrounds the roots of teeth, after tooth loss or extraction. You might need ridge augmentation if you've experienced bone loss in your jaw that makes dental implant placement difficult or impossible. This procedure creates a more stable foundation for dental implants and improves the aesthetic appearance of your smile by restoring the natural contour of your gums and jaw.
Ridge augmentation is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Following surgery, some discomfort and swelling are normal, but these can be managed effectively with prescribed pain medication and by following our aftercare instructions. Most patients at London Dental Specialists report that the discomfort is manageable and subsides within a few days after the procedure.
A ridge augmentation is an outpatient procedure that typically takes approximately 1-2 hours to complete at London Dental Specialists. The exact duration depends on the complexity of your case and the extent of augmentation needed. Our specialists will provide you with a more precise timeframe during your consultation.
Recovery after ridge augmentation typically takes about 1-2 weeks for the initial healing. During this time, you may experience swelling and minor discomfort. However, the bone graft itself takes approximately 4-6 months to fully integrate with your natural bone before dental implants can be placed. Our team at London Dental Specialists will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
The primary objectives of ridge augmentation are:
At London Dental Specialists, the cost of ridge augmentation varies depending on several factors, including the type of grafting material used, the extent of bone loss, and the complexity of your case. While the average cost typically ranges between £500 and £1,500, we provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing during your consultation. We also offer various payment options to help make your treatment more affordable.
At London Dental Specialists, we use several types of bone grafting materials for ridge augmentation:
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, the results of ridge augmentation can last a lifetime. Once the bone graft has fully integrated with your natural bone, it becomes a permanent part of your jaw structure. To ensure long-lasting results, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists, and follow all aftercare instructions provided by our team.
Ridge augmentation is not always necessary before dental implants, but it is often recommended when there is insufficient bone volume to support an implant. Without adequate bone, dental implants may not integrate properly or could fail prematurely. During your consultation at London Dental Specialists, our implant surgeons will assess your bone density and volume using advanced imaging techniques to determine if ridge augmentation is needed for successful implant placement.
