If you’ve experienced bone resorption due to tooth loss and have been told that you're not a candidate for dental implants, ridge augmentation may be the solution.

Whether the goal is improved aesthetics or preparation for implants, our compassionate team is here to deliver the personalized, expert care you deserve.
Why Choose Ridge Augmentation at Trillium Oral Surgery and Implantology?
Ridge augmentation does more than prepare your jaw for dental implants. It also helps restore facial symmetry, prevents further bone loss, and improves the long-term success of your tooth restoration. At Trillium Oral Surgery and Implantology, our board-certified surgeons combine 30+ years of clinical experience with globally informed training to deliver advanced, patient-centered care.
As a privately owned practice, we focus solely on your health, comfort, and outcomes, not corporate metrics. By using technologies like CBCT imaging, PRP therapy, and guided surgical planning, we ensure each ridge augmentation fits seamlessly into your overall treatment plan. You’ll leave with renewed confidence and a healthier foundation for your smile.
The Benefits of Ridge Augmentation
Improves Implant Success
A solid, well-shaped jawbone is essential for implant stability. Ridge augmentation rebuilds the bone where it’s thinned or missing, improving the success and longevity of future dental implants.
Restores Natural Facial Contours
Bone loss in the jaw can lead to sunken cheeks and premature aging. By rebuilding the ridge, this procedure helps restore your natural appearance and facial structure.
Protects Oral Health
Without adequate bone, teeth and soft tissues can shift over time. Ridge augmentation provides essential support to nearby teeth and reduces long-term oral health issues tied to bone deterioration.
What to Expect From Ridge Augmentation
Personalized Evaluation and Imaging
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive exam at our Plymouth, MI office. We use detailed CBCT scans to assess bone loss and determine the best approach for your ridge augmentation. Our surgeons will explain every step, review your goals, and answer all your questions, ensuring you’re informed and comfortable from the very beginning.
Precise Surgical Procedure
During the procedure, bone grafting material is added to the deficient areas of your jaw ridge. We often use advanced technology like X-Nav surgical navigation and PRP to promote healing and improve precision. Local anesthesia or sedation keeps you relaxed throughout, and our gentle, minimally invasive techniques help reduce discomfort and recovery time.
Healing and Long-Term Results
Post-surgery, your bone graft will gradually integrate with your natural tissue over several months. We’ll schedule follow-ups to monitor progress and ensure optimal healing. Once fully healed, your jawbone will be ready for implant placement, providing a healthy, supportive foundation for years to come.
