Ridge Modification | Chino , CA | Billy S. Liang, DDS

Ridge Modification

Ridge modification is an effective procedure for treating deformities in the upper and lower jaws. These deformities can occur as a result of periodontal disease, trauma, injury, wearing dentures, or developmental problems. Such defects can leave insufficient bone for the placement of dental implants and an additional unattractive indentation in the jaw line adjacent to the missing teeth.

During the ridge modification procedure, the gum is lifted away from the ridge to fully expose the defect in the bone. The bony defect can be filled with bone graft material that can help regenerate lost bone or a bone substitute. Finally, the incision is closed and several months of healing will be required. Depending on the case and type of implant and procedure, the dental implant might be placed during the ridge modification procedure or when healing is complete; this all depends on the condition of the bone. Ridge modification improves the cosmetic appearance, functionality of the mouth, and the chance of enjoying dental implants for many years.

"I feel I’m in the Best care by Dr Billy Lang and all his staff! Many thanks to Yvette, my hygienist, that cleans my teeth and educates me in caring for my teeth and puts me at ease. Thank you very much !"

Claudia Aguerre

"They are always on time which was extremely helpful while I was in college! I would schedule appointments in between classes and still be able to make it to the next class in time. I can be in and out of the office within an hour. I've never had to wait in the waiting room for longer than 5 minutes. I now love the dentist since coming to Liang's. Him and his team are so professional and very genuine. Personal shoutout to Yvette; she's been cleaning my teeth for the past 4 years and always does so with the biggest smile on her face!"

Catherine Lei

"Love my Dental Office! Dr Liang is super honest and conservative! My Hygienist, Dawn, is the best! Why? She is gentle, pays attention to detail, and gets my teeth sparkling clean every time!!! I am pretty picky because I was a Dental Assistant for 7 years, so I know great work and care when I experience it!"
