What is ridge modification and why is it necessary?
Ridge modification is a surgical procedure that reshapes or rebuilds the jawbone where teeth are missing. It’s necessary when the bone is too thin or uneven to support dental implants, ensuring a stable and long-lasting foundation.
Is ridge modification painful?
We use local anesthesia and sedation options to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Some mild swelling or soreness afterward is normal, but it typically subsides within a few days.
How long does it take to heal after ridge modification?
Healing time varies, but most patients recover within a few weeks. Full bone integration may take several months before implants can be placed.
Can ridge modification be done at the same time as dental implant placement?
In some cases, yes. If the bone condition allows, we can combine procedures to reduce overall treatment time. We’ll evaluate your situation to determine the best approach.
