Ridge Augmentation
Dental Factoid
About one in three people suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding, which can easily be treated. Fifteen percent children acquire this behavior.
If you lose one or more permanent teeth, an indentation may result in the gums and jawbone where the tooth used to be. When no longer holding a tooth in place, the jawbone recedes and the resulting indentation looks unnatural. Ridge augmentation is a procedure that can recapture the natural contour of the gums and jaw. A new tooth can then be created that is natural looking and complements your smile.About one in three people suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding, which can easily be treated.
