Bone & Ridge Augmentation in Allen, TX

Building a Strong Foundation for Implants

Dental implants need a healthy, stable jawbone to succeed. But when bone has weakened due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma, implants may not be possible without additional support. That’s where bone and ridge augmentation comes in.

At Dayglow Dentistry of Allen, we provide bone grafting and ridge preservation procedures to rebuild lost bone and prepare your mouth for long-lasting implant success.

What Is Bone & Ridge Augmentation?

• Bone Augmentation (Bone Grafting): Adds bone material to areas where the jawbone has thinned or deteriorated. This helps create the strength needed to support an implant.
  
• Ridge Augmentation: Restores the natural contour of your jaw and gums after tooth loss or extraction, making implants fit and look more natural.
  

Both procedures help ensure your dental implants are secure, stable, and built to last.

Why You Might Need Bone Grafting

You may need bone or ridge augmentation if you have:

• Tooth loss that caused bone shrinkage
  
• Gum disease that damaged supporting bone
  
• Trauma or injury to the jaw
  
• Extraction sites that need bone preservation
  
• Plans for dental implants but insufficient bone support
  

Without enough bone, implants cannot fuse properly with the jaw — making grafting an important first step for many patients.

The Bone Grafting Process

Here’s what to expect:

1. Evaluation & Planning – Dr. Kim uses CBCT imaging to assess bone volume and plan treatment.
   
2. Bone Grafting Procedure – Grafting material is placed into areas of low bone density.
   
3. Healing Period – Over several months, the graft fuses with your natural bone, strengthening the area.
   
4. Implant Placement – Once healed, your jaw is ready for secure computer-guided implant placement.
   

We use advanced techniques to make the process comfortable and predictable.
