Ridge Augmentation Bone Graft Services
If your jawbone isn’t wide or high enough for dental implants, ridge augmentation and bone grafting can help. Ridge augmentation restores the shape and strength of your jawbone, creating the perfect foundation for successful implants.
While ridge augmentation reshapes the bone, a bone graft can add volume to areas that need it. Both procedures often work together for the best results.
At Ocotillo Trails Family Dentistry, we provide expert care to ensure the success of your implants. Reach out today to learn how ridge augmentation can restore your smile!

Our Ridge Augmentation Process: What to Expect
We use a careful, step-by-step approach to rebuild areas of the jawbone that may have lost volume or shape. Usually we begin with a detailed examination and imaging, but the treatment can vary depending on the amount of bone available and whether ridge augmentation is being planned for future dental implants.
1) Consultation and bone assessment.
We begin by discussing your dental history, treatment goals, and concerns about the affected area. We examine the jawbone and review appropriate imaging to evaluate its height, width, and overall condition. This helps us understand whether ridge augmentation is appropriate for you.
2) Diagnosis and treatment planning.
After assessing the area, we explain what we found and discuss the recommended approach. We determine how much additional bone support may be needed and how the procedure fits into your overall treatment plan. Sometimes the treatment varies depending on the location and extent of bone loss.
3) Procedure preparation.
Before the procedure, we review what you should expect and provide instructions to help you prepare. We also explain the grafting material and how the treatment area will be protected during healing. Our goal is to make each stage clear so you feel comfortable moving forward.
4) Ridge augmentation procedure.
During treatment, we carefully prepare the affected area and place grafting material where additional ridge volume is needed. The material is positioned to support the desired shape and structure of the jawbone. We work carefully around the surrounding tissues throughout the procedure.
5) Healing and progress monitoring.
After augmentation, the treated area needs time to heal and develop adequate bone support. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and monitor your progress through follow-up visits. Usually healing progresses gradually, but the timeline can vary based on the procedure and your individual needs.
6) Final assessment and next steps.
Once healing has progressed sufficiently, we evaluate the augmented ridge to determine whether it provides the support needed for your next treatment stage. If implants are planned, this assessment helps determine when the area is ready. We explain the next step before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I might need ridge augmentation?
Ridge augmentation may be recommended when the jaw ridge has lost height or width after tooth loss, trauma, infection, or bone deterioration. Your dentist can examine the area and use dental imaging to determine whether rebuilding the ridge would support your treatment plan.
Is ridge augmentation covered by insurance in San Tan Valley?
Many insurance plans cover parts of ridge augmentation procedures. We recommend checking with your insurance provider and contacting our office for assistance.
How long does the ridge augmentation procedure take in San Tan Valley?
The duration of the procedure varies, but typically, ridge augmentation takes between 1-2 hours depending on the complexity.
Do you offer sedation options for ridge augmentation in San Tan Valley?
Yes, we offer sedation options to ensure that your ridge augmentation procedure is comfortable and stress-free.
How is ridge augmentation different from a regular bone graft?
Ridge augmentation is a specific type of bone-grafting procedure focused on restoring the shape and volume of the alveolar ridge where teeth once sat. General bone grafting can involve several different areas and purposes, while ridge augmentation specifically addresses ridge deficiencies.
Is the ridge augmentation procedure painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during or after the procedure, especially with sedation or local anesthesia. Our team will ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
How long does it take to recover from ridge augmentation?
Recovery time can vary, but most patients recover within a few weeks. Full healing may take a few months before you can proceed with dental implants.
How long does ridge augmentation last?
Ridge augmentation results can last many years, providing a stable foundation for dental implants, with proper care and maintenance.
What should I avoid while a ridge augmentation is healing?
Avoid disturbing the surgical area, chewing hard foods directly over it, smoking, and ignoring your post-treatment instructions. Your dentist may also temporarily modify brushing, rinsing, exercise, and eating habits while the site stabilizes.
