Ridge And Socket Augmentation Procedures in Bellevue
Graft Tissue to Support Implants and Improve Tissue Contours
Why Ridge And Socket Augmentation Matters
Hard and soft tissue grafts are performed to augment ridges and extraction sockets to enhance the functional and esthetic results of restorative dentistry. Anterior extraction sites can be grafted with bone graft material to improve the predictability and esthetics of fixed bridges and dental implants. Soft tissue grafts may also be performed to augment the ridge and improve tissue contours.
Enhances functional and esthetic restorative results
Supports ridges and extraction sockets after tooth removal
Improves predictability for bridges and dental implants
Helps improve tissue contours with soft tissue grafting
What to Expect During Your Procedure
Your periodontist evaluates the ridge and extraction site and determines whether hard tissue, soft tissue, or both are needed. Grafting is performed to support future restorations and improve the appearance and contours of the tissue, especially in visible areas.
Evaluation And Planning
We assess ridge shape and socket condition to plan the appropriate grafting.
Hard Tissue Grafting
Bone graft material may be placed to support predictable implant or bridge outcomes.
Soft Tissue Grafting
Soft tissue grafts may be used to augment the ridge and refine tissue contours.
Restorative Support
Grafting helps enhance the functional and esthetic foundation for restorative dentistry.
