Ridge Augmentation
The tongue is the most frequent source of cancers in the mouth, followed by the floor of the mouth, soft palate tissues in back of the tongue, lips, and gums.
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.
