Our team strives to provide the best care we can, and you are a major part of that process. We encourage our patients to be well educated about their treatment, and this is a good place to either start learning more about braces and orthodontics, or to review some instructions we may have already given you.
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.
