Ridge Augmentation — Rebuilding the Jaw Ridge When It's Too Narrow for Implants

Ridge augmentation techniques — guided bone regeneration and block grafting for narrow jaw ridges

How ridge augmentation works

  • Guided bone regeneration (GBR): particulate graft + membrane, 4–6 months healing — most common approach
  • Block grafting: solid bone block for larger defects, similar healing time, greater surgical complexity
Ridge augmentation as part of a full dental implant treatment plan — 10 to 12 months total

Ridge augmentation as part of a larger plan

Typical total treatment time from initial consultation to finished restoration is 10–12 months when augmentation is required first.
