At Oasispark Dental, we offer ridge expansion to increase the width of your jawbone, ensuring a strong foundation for dental implants or restorations. If bone loss has caused your ridge to narrow, this procedure gently widens the jawbone, allowing for successful implant placement and restoring both function and aesthetics. Our advanced techniques provide long-lasting results, improving oral health and smile confidence.
Ridge expansion plays a crucial role in successful tooth replacement and offers several advantages:
With ridge expansion, you can achieve a stable and functional smile, ensuring lasting implant success.
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation, including digital imaging, to determine the extent of bone loss and the best treatment approach.
During the procedure, the jawbone is carefully widened using specialized techniques. A bone graft is often placed to encourage natural bone growth and stabilize the expanded ridge. Healing typically takes a few months as the bone regenerates, creating a strong foundation for implants or restorations.

Healing time varies but generally takes 4-6 months. This allows the bone to regenerate and become strong enough for dental implant placement.
